About this game
Based on the board game, the object is to guess either a word or phrase based on a drawing.
Each team starts on the same square on the board and the first team attempts to draw a picture based on a clue.

If his team correctly guesses the clue, then this team gets to roll the dice and advance along the board.
If the team fails to guess correctly, then the other team gets a chance to draw and guess.
The game plays much in this way until a team reaches the final square on the board and successfully guesses the clue to win the game.
This game contains three different modes; regular game, alternative game, and drawing practice.
It also allows for up to four teams which can be made comprising of any number of players per each team.
In the regular game, a team will be given a turn to start revealing pieces of one of the 500+ drawings that are hidden in the game.
Each drawing is a 6x8 size and has 48 pieces to it.
To reveal the pieces, the player is made to play one of four timed minigames which are chosen depending on the color of the square the player landed on the board.
The minigames consist of Attack of the Paint Zombies, The WareHouse Shuffle, Leapin' Energy Capsules!, and Four Alarm Rescue.
In Attack of the Paint Zombies the player fires downwards at the aliens and the more aliens that are hit the more pieces that are revealed of the drawing.
If the aliens hit the player, the player loses time off the clock.
In The WareHouse Shuffle, the player goes all the way to the left side and then stacks as many boxes on top of each other that they can bring over all the way to the right side.
While transporting the boxes, their are two enemies who can hit into your boxes thus subtracting them from the haul and also taking time away.
Each box brought over reduces a piece of the hidden drawing.
In Leapin' Energy Capsules!, the player is an astronaut and is moving and jumping to collect blue spheres.
While collecting the spheres the player must try to avoid hitting any enemies wh
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Pictionary for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pictionary to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1990.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Pictionary has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
