==Gameplay== The team chooses one person to begin drawing; this position rotates with each word. The drawer chooses a [[Playing card|card]] out of a deck of special ''Pictionary'' cards and tries to draw pictures which suggest the word printed on the card. The pictures cannot contain any numbers or letters, nor can the drawers use spoken clues about the subjects they are drawing. The teammates try to guess the word the drawing is intended to represent. There are five types of squares on the board, and each ''Pictionary'' card has a list of five words printed on it. Players must then draw the word which corresponds to the square their playing piece landed on: {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- ! ! Subject |- |style="background:yellow"| '''P''' | Person/Place/Animal |- |style="background:lightblue"| '''O''' |Object |- |style="background:orange"| '''A''' | Action |- |style="background:lightgreen"| '''D''' | Difficult ''(words which are difficult to represent in a drawing)'' |- |style="background:red"| '''AP''' | All Play |- |style="background:purple; color:white"| | Appears in certain versions. Player may pick a card and choose which word they wish to draw from the five given. |} AP category (and a random selection of check-marked words in other categories) are designated as "All Play". For "All Play," the teams compete against each other. Each team designates a player whose purpose will be to draw pictures. The team that guesses the word first gets to advance and take the next turn. If none of the teams guess the word, the turn passes to whichever team should have been next. One may not point or gesture to an object. A one-minute [[timer]], usually a [[sand timer]], is used to compel players to rapidly complete their drawing and guessing.
