Any kind of letter, number, or symbol is prohibited in the game, as well as verbal cues and gesturing to an object or person in the room.Īlthough the game is quite popular today, the same cannot be said during the beginning stages of its development.
The 'drawer' then takes a single card from the in-game deck which contains a set of words, after which they will attempt to draw pictures that represent the chosen word, with his teammates trying to guess the word. Did you know that prior to Pictionary's publication Robert Angel, the game's creator, would randomly choose words from the dictionary and subsequently draw the chosen word for his party-goers to guess? The game's mechanics involve a team's personal choice on who begins drawing, rotating with every round.
