About the game
The main difference between this edition and the regular edition of Pictionary is the "Challenge Die". The Challenge Die may be used at the start of your turn to change the way you must draw. These special dice components can make you: - Draw 2 pictures in less than 1 minute. - Draw with your eyes closed. - Draw a picture using only one line (don't lift your pencil). - Draw with your 'off hand' (righties use their left hand, and vice versa). - Play with the regular rules A nice change of pace for those who like this classic drawing game.
