Pictureka 2nd Edition Game

Product Information

Usually with less than five players playing they get two cards each. What would qualify as someone who is ‘cheating’ at Pictureka? This is one board game that always comes out during the game night at our house and never fails to entertain the whole family. It’s suitable for ages 6 and upwards too, so great for the little ones to get involved and easy to follow, which is always a bonus. Board game to iPhone conversions have given us some of the best games the portable platform has seen, like Carcassone and Catan. Combining the tried and tested gameplay of board games with the portability and solo options of the iPhone make for good times. Conversely, hidden object games are a big hit with the casual PC crowd. Sitting directly at the intersection of hidden object and board game sits today’s title… Pictureka! My biggest complaint about Pictureka! is the occasional weird groupings of pictures. There are times you’ll be tapping images thinking they apply, and they simply don’t. For instance, I think an airplane should count as “something that is loud,” but the game disagrees. You don’t lose points for tapping incorrect answers, but you do waste valuable time, and in later levels that hurts more than losing points.

Blue mission cards are the ‘Find it First’ cards which require players to be the first to find a specific object on the tiles. The thing I like best about Pictureka! is how the same image might apply to many different questions. For instance, a picture of ice cream could work for something cold or something sweet. An animal could count for finding something with legs, with hair, with teeth, belonging in the jungle, etc. It’s adaptable, which means there’s no sense trying to memorize certain pictures since you’ll simply waste too much time. This is a game about recognition and thinking fast, something to sharpen the perception skills. Arrange the 9 Game Tiles into a grid that is 3×3. Once done, sort the cards into the three color groups and ensure that you shuffle these. Have the chosen player to begin the game start by rolling the dice and drawing a card that corresponds to the color on the dice. If you’ve ever played the card game pairs, then Pictureka is similar to that. Instead of locating two matching cards, you’re trying to spot crazy images of monsters and objects within a limited amount of time to beat your opponents. About The Pictureka GameIf you’re looking for a game to play with your kids that can help with their cognitive skills, then look no further than Pictureka. The other players decide you - you could lose a card... or maybe you have to howl like a dog or perform an "I'm So Sorry" dance. If this is the case, then all the players agree upon a fitting punishment for the offending player. Keeping Score in the Pictureka Game The idea for the game was first proposed in 2005 under the name project X. It was first released to the public in 2006.

From here, the rules are the same as the Round and Round versions. If the player completes their mission, they keep their card, and the player to the left takes their turn. Pictureka! by Hasbro Games is a fast-paced family party game perfect for younger children. Picture a crazy mash up of Dobble and Where's Wally, where two or more players, aged 6+, scan nine tiles of zany artwork to find specific pictures or objects within those pictures and collect cards. The player, or team, with the most cards at the end of the game wins. As I mentioned earlier, the mission cards come in three colors, red, blue, and green, and each color represents a different mission and a different set of rules, which are as follows: If you're first to find a picture that matches the mission, shout Pictureka! and point at it. You get to keep the card.This card requires the player to find all of the listed objects before the included timer runs out. There are a few game modes in Pictureka!, but all follow the basic rules. Blue cards have one of the pictures on them and are all play, the first person to find the picture in the grid, point it out and shout Pictureka! wins and takes the card. Green cards are solo play and players first roll dice to determine how many of the object described on one of the three sections on the card they have to find before the sand on the timer runs out, fingers crossed you don’t roll a six. For the red cards, everyone should have individual tiles and work alone to find the images on the cards. This is the most commonly played version of the game, which is where you play a couple of rounds of the same colored missions. I suggest playing this version if you’re playing the game for the first time. The rules are as follows:
