Pictionary

Sketch and guess

Pictionary is a guessing game where players draw pictures to convey words or phrases to teammates, who must identify them without verbal clues.

The name blends "picture" and "dictionary." Drawing skill matters less than quick visual thinking: We played Pictionary at the party and I had to draw "betrayal".
