Summary: Fun but short lived?
Comment: Our friends and we LOVE this game. However we are pretty disappointed because we have played this game a total of four times (slightly different groups each time but a few of us played all of the times) and by the second game, we were already getting words we had gotten in the past. The box says there are over 2,000 words but it doesn't matter if the computer is random and picks old words before new words! In this case I think cards would be so much better because then you can make sure you never get repeats. Otherwise the game is fun, easy to understand and play, and I love how it incorporates charades, in a way, with the pictionary. Its great! I just may be contacting the company though to ask about what to do when you pay $31 for a game that starts repeating itself after the second game....

Summary: Stick it to the man!
Comment: Pictionary is a great game, but Pictionary Man is a mass market miss. If you understand how to play Pictionary, then you understand how to play this game ... they are basically the same; however, instead of drawing on paper, you draw on hard white plastics objects (with a dry erase marker) in the following shapes:
- The man (a cartoon shaped person, about 12 inches tall)
- The board (a block about 1.5" x 6" x 3"
- The puck (a hockey puck about 1" think and 2" across)
The pros:
Pictionary is a great game, and loved by most people
The cons:
The dry erase markers are quickly mashed by frantic players drawing and pointing with them - if you play the game often, these will frequently need to be replaced at your own expense. Batteries are not included - to run the timer and score board. Drawing on "the man" is time consuming, distracting, difficult, and ineffective. We quickly discovered that in most cases, the player would discard the man and use "the board" as a blank drawing pallet - in essence using a marker and tiny white board instead of pencil and paper.
In summary:
Pictionary is a great game and I highly recommend it; however, Pictionary Man is just trying to get his hands on your wallet ... instead, "stick it to the man" and stay with the original version.

Summary: Pictionary Great, the man not so much
Comment: Pictionary is a great game and I have loved playing it in the past. I looked forward to having a go at this electronic version. Firstly I would say that it takes 3 AAA batteries which I find annoying as it is a size I don't always have handy. I found this game to be fun because Pictionary is fun, however the addition of a man adds little to the game. Most of the time we just played with the rectangle and never used the circle. Just after one play there was already some residue from the marker that was not coming off, so I think if you played it a lot you could have trouble cleaning off the pen. Some of the clues which were actions seemed a little odd such as 'curl' or 'mark'. Also every 7 turns it went into the team challenge which can be annoying if you don't want to play that aspect of the game. Pictionary is a game I would recommend however I would go and buy the pen and paper version rather than pay the extra for the electronic one.

Summary: Party pleaser
Comment: This is a type of game that you want to play with four or more people. After you play it once, it can become alittle addictive...hehe. Not much more to say what other reviews have said.
