Pictomania (Second Edition) review

Pictomania (Second Edition) is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for a group of friends or family. The premise is simple: players draw a word on a card, and everyone else tries to guess what they're drawing. What makes Pictomania unique is that everyone is drawing and guessing simultaneously, creating a chaotic and hilarious experience. The new edition features revised word cards with a fresh look, and the change to only having three cards in play regardless of player count makes each round move quicker. The word cards are also organized into different categories, so you can tailor the difficulty to your group.

I've played this game a few times now, and it's always a hit. I love the fast-paced nature of the game and how it encourages you to be creative even if you're not a skilled artist. The game is also surprisingly strategic; you need to consider how well you can draw versus how quickly you can draw, and you need to be able to decipher other people's drawings, even if they're a little wonky.

Some reviewers mentioned that the card holder is flimsy, which I agree with. It's a bit of a bummer that the stand doesn't feel as sturdy as it could be, but I've found that it works well enough. A few other reviewers also mentioned that the game is better with a larger player count, and I think that's true. There's something about the energy of a larger group that really brings this game to life.

Overall, I highly recommend Pictomania (Second Edition). It's a fun, quick, and easy-to-learn game that's sure to provide plenty of laughs. Just be sure to bring a sense of humor, and be prepared to get a little competitive!
