Pictionary - The Game of Video Quick Draw (USA)

Pictionary - The Game of Video Quick Draw for the NES console is a digital adaptation of the popular Pictionary board game. The main objective of the game is for teams to compete against each other in guessing words or phrases based on drawings made on the screen. The game can be played by one to four players, divided into two teams.

Each turn, one team will have a designated "picturist" or artist. The artist will be given a secret word or phrase belonging to one of several categories, such as Person/Place/Animal, Object, Action, Difficult, or All Play. The artist's task is to draw a picture illustrating that word on the screen using the NES controller. Drawing options include selecting colors, brush sizes, and an eraser tool.

While the artist is drawing, the other members of their team will attempt to guess the word or phrase as quickly as possible. There is a time limit for each drawing turn, typically 60 seconds. If the team guesses correctly before time runs out, they get to advance their pawn on the virtual game board. The ultimate goal is to be the first team to move their pawn to the final square on the board.

The "All Play" mode is an exciting feature where both teams get a chance to guess simultaneously. The first team to guess correctly wins the turn. This adds an extra layer of tension and competition. Although the graphics on the NES are quite simple, the gameplay retains the fun and challenging essence of the original game, requiring creativity in drawing and quick deductive reasoning from the guessers.

The game not only challenges drawing skills but also non-verbal communication and logical thinking. Pictionary - The Game of Video Quick Draw offers a unique entertainment experience, suitable for gatherings with friends and family.
