For what it's worth though Wade is spot on with everything about both versions (including what is good about pictionary - I can remember my parents coming home from dinner parties in the 80s talking about how so and so had almost divorced on the spot because of incomprehensible drawings a la millhouse's parents in the Simpsons. Any game that can do that has got to have something going for it).

I played Pictionary once at a family reunion. It was good for laughs for a while, but we didn't take it seriously enough to even finish the game. A year later, I nearly played it again, at an office holiday party. But it was a law firm, and the lawyers found it more enjoyable to argue about the rules and the teams, so we never actually got to play that time. Though not Pictionary, I have also played Eat Poop, You Cat, and that was more of a party activity than a game, but still more fun than Pictionary.
