My sister and I love games! so... I got this for her for christmas. FUN we were cracking up after we had to take batteries out of the tv remote to use in the man haha.
The time allowed to draw is way too short, but thats what makes the drawing aspect of the game fun!
The ages are 14+ should be 18+ due to difficult clues givin by the man they may have to draw.
Overall a Great game if u like win lose or draw / pictionary !

As a video game fanatic I can say that the days of Milton Bradley are long since over. The commercials depicting people having a gay ol' time huddled around a table playing Battleship and the old pictionary game are a gross representation of today's digital age. The Nintendo Wii and non-Nintendo games like Buzz! are the new family-binding games. Seriously, when was the last time any of us got around the table to play Clue or Monopoly? Those games have gone digital anyway.

That said, Pictionary Man is an attempt by Hasbro to complete with the new digital gargantuans that dominate family night and a creative, but ultimately futile gesture at best.

The layout and rules are simple as was the original Pictionary. You get a clue on the bottom of the "pictionary man" and attempt to draw it on either the guy, a board-looking thingy, and/or a circular object. Apparently, the digitizing of the pictionary man is supposed to make it mess free but that really doesn't add to the experience very much. The problem is you get 30 seconds (non-negotiable) to draw like a mad man scribbling symbols in an assylum. I don't care what others say; that's not much time to draw much of anything.

Perhaps I got unlucky but I felt as though the clues were almost always occupations and given that you have to draw them on a person that makese sense... and yet, it does not. It's very limiting to the players, especially if you're like me and am not a fan of board games.

Honest to goodness, this could have been an amazing thing if they would have expanded the time and the clues to more than occupations like "surfer." Not to mention the new generation and generation Y typically hate board games. I'm a child of the 80s and my friends and I dispise board games when we have perfectly good adaptations on our Nintendo Wii. I would recomend this to people much older than I since they seem to appreciate them more than my generation does.

This game was purchased as a Christmas present for my 15year old daughter.The family has played it a couple of times and have lots of fun.This is a great game for turning off the tv.

Our family played this game recently and found that my 13, 10 and 9 year old didn't know many of the clues. The age recommendation is for 14 and older. I would recommend this game for 18 and older.

this game is great fun! i have played it several times with a few different groups of people and we have had a blast every time! i highly suggest picking up this game. this game can be great fun for adults and teens alike.
