Description

This drawing and guessing game, essentially identical to Pictionary, is for 2-4 teams of up to 5 players. Players move a pencil figurine across a board with colored spaces, each representing a category: 1) Arts, Sports & Entertainment, 2) Geography & Natural Sciences, 3) Verbs, 4) Home & Food, and 5) Anything Goes. In the first round, all teams simultaneously guess a word from the "Anything Goes" category within 3 minutes. On each subsequent turn, a player rolls two dice: a four-sided die to determine the number of spaces to move, and another die with two possible results: "I" (Individual Guess) or "TJ" ("Todos Juegan," Spanish for "All Play"). If "I" is rolled, the team advances by guessing correctly. If "TJ" is rolled, all teams guess together, and the first to answer correctly moves forward. The first team to reach the finish space and correctly guess a word from a category chosen by the other teams wins. The game features common words, along with a mix of Mexican and 80s pop culture.
