Stronghold Games will release a new English edition of
Pictomania, designed by Vlaada Chvatil (
Mage Knight, Galaxy Trucker), under license from Pegasus Spiele, the company announced. The game was previously released in English only in a very limited edition by Czech Games Edition. As a sub-license, the game apparently does not fall under Czech Games’ new strategy of handling its own distribution in the U.S. (see “
CGE To Handle its Own English language distribution”).
In Pictomania, each player tries to draw a picture of a word assigned to them, and also to guess at the drawings of other players.
The box contains 99 double-sided clue cards, divided into four difficulty levels, 2 card racks, 6 stickers, 6 sketch boards, 6 dry-erase markers, 6 small erasers, 42 guess cards, 6 symbol cards, 7 number cards, 30 scoring tokens, 5 bonus point tokens, and 1 rule book.
The game is for 3-6 players, and will release at $49.95 on March 18.
