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.
