Pictures

Daniela Stöhr, Christian Stöhr · PD-Verlag · 2019

Recreate a photo using one of five unusual materials — building blocks, sticks and stones, shoelaces, color cubes, or icon cards. Others guess which photo you've depicted. The constraints of each material force creative interpretation that generates constant laughter.

Why you'll like it

How it plays

Pictures is a party game in which players create images to represent a photo. Each player gets a different set of materials, like shoelaces, building blocks or colored cubes.

Everyone secretly builds an image of a target photo from a grid of 16. Then players guess which photo each person was trying to show. Both the builder and the guessers score for correct guesses. It's creative and very funny.
