   We have been waiting for this! We like Pictionary a lot but never play it because it means going into the closet, getting it out, setting it up, cleaning up afterward etc. But not now! This is more or less WHY we got the UDraw, and the game is brilliant. It takes about two minutes to set everything up on the screen, and then you go right into playing. There are on-screen prompts to tell you what to do, a voice to guide you, and you can set your own time length. Then we discovered “Pictionary Mania,” which is kind of crazy and much more complex but once you get into it, so much fun. I don’t think our old Pictionary board game will get used much anymore. This is WAY more fun, and you get a review at the end of all of the images you created. OK, one thing I’ll miss is digging through the box to find the clues we drew years ago, but it’s a small price to pay. We ALL played this, no one got bored in the slightest, and it’s going to be fun for parties and get-togethers too! HIGHEST RATING from me.

   This digitized version of the popular family board game makes the most of the udraw tablet and improves on the experience of an already fun family game. The scraps of paper and broken pencil nubs are replaced with a plastic drawing board (child friendly and actually very sturdy) that can be passed around between teams.

   The game relies on an honesty system since there are no physical cards to refer to (and shield from prying eyes) while everyone is sitting in front of the television. The person drawing selects a secret clue area, dragging it away to reveal the subject. A twinkling sound accompanies the reveal of the clue, allowing honest players to know when they can uncover their eyes or turn back to face the screen. On the off chance someone turns back too quickly or simply doesn’t know how to draw the object or action, a new clue can be generated at will without penalty.

   The clues are split into two piles: simpler hints for children and more advanced ones for adults to draw. The choice is available on a per-question basis, so there’s no risk of locking yourself into a game too tough for the players.

   The system is very easy and intuitive and there is essentially no learning curve.
