PicWits is an outstanding party and family game that's brilliantly simple and fiendishly fun. There are two types of cards in PicWits, Picture Cards and Caption Cards. Each round of play kicks off with players holding 8 Picture Cards apiece. The judge (a different player every round) flips over a Caption Card for all to see and reads it aloud. Players (other than the judge) review their Picture Cards to find the one that will best match the caption - in the judge's opinion. A Caption Card might, for example, say 'Be careful what you ask for,' while a Picture Card might display a beautiful young woman with her arm around a wealthy, elderly man, or a skydiver falling through the air, mouth wide open in a scream. The player whose Picture Card is selected by the judge as best fitting the caption is awarded the Caption Card, thus edging closer to a win. Many of the Picture Cards are kooky and brazen enough to elicit laughter all by themselves. But the pairings between that round's Caption Card and the players' chosen Picture Cards (flipped over by the judge one at a time) are what really send the laughter through the roof. PicWits moves quickly, takes seconds to learn, and generates tons of easy, flowing laughter and conversation, essential ingredients in great group fun! For 4 or more players.
