Introduction

Pictiomatic is a similar game to the pictionary or isketch from 2 to 4 players. The game is carried out per turns. On each turn a player has the opportunity to draw a secret word which the other players will try to guess.

The players that try to guess the word correctly can write it both on the chat window or on the text box intended for it below the drawing sheet.

Advice: click on the text box to enable it and write the text you want.

The player that has the turn to draw, will have a limit amount of time to manage the other players to guess the secret word correctly. The first player that guesses the word, scores more points.

The turns to draw pass from player to player in order and counterclockwise, until the number of rounds indicated by the master on the table options is finished.

How to draw.

Use the mouse to draw over the sheet of paper intended for it. By default, the drawings are in black, but it is possible to click on the crayons on the superior part to change the color. You can erase a part of the drawing selecting the eraser. A double click on the eraser will erase the drawing completely.

To score points, the games have to be competitive (indicated by a boxing glove or swords). There is no scoring if 2 players at the table share the same IP.

There is a score only in the games of 3 and 4 players and the points scored depend on the the position you reach.

The players that leave a game, lose 20 points. If there is a tie with two or more players, they score the points of the worst position.

For example, on a game with 4 players: if two players tie in the first positions, both score 5 points; the following remains with the same points and the 4th loses 5 points.
