In the year 2023, artificial intelligence is making its mark on almost everything, and now, it’s injecting a dose of AI excitement into the classic board game, Pictionary. Mattel has taken everyone by surprise with the announcement of a new version of the game, aptly named “Pictionary Vs. AI.” This innovative release marks Mattel’s first foray into incorporating AI technology into its games, representing a significant leap into this category.
Unlike a video game, Pictionary Vs. AI remains a tangible analog board game with a delightful AI-enhanced twist. The fundamental distinction from traditional Pictionary is that players collectively strive to stump the artificial intelligence instead of each other. Players receive clues from cards, just as in the regular game, and draw their interpretations on the included whiteboard, following the usual conventions up to this point.
