Playing Pictionary:
Now everyone should be ready. Choose one player on your team to be the first drawer and roll dice to see which team goes first. The highest roll gets to pick a card from the deck and the AP category is chosen for everybody to guess. Once the card is drawn, the Drawer has 5 seconds before they must begin to sketch.
Once 5 seconds are up, the time is set to 1 minute and the drawer sketches their words.
Note: A sketch can not include letters or numbers.
All players then guess in the first round and have 1 minute to do so. The team that guesses correctly first then gets to roll a die and advance the corresponding amount of squares. They now switch drawers and draw a card. The category they must draw should correspond to the color square they are on. The new drawer has 5 seconds to think / prepare and 1 minute to sketch.
In this and all consequent rounds, only teammates guess the clue. If the team guesses correctly, they may roll the dice again and advance to a new square. This happens until the team guesses incorrectly, then a new team gets to play. This new team begins by drawing a card and beginning a new round of the sketch and guess process. The first team to the finish square wins the entire game.
