Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Pictionary is to party games what Trivial Pursuit is to trivia games -- it started a craze in the mid-1980s.
More About Pictionary: In Pictionary, one player tries to get his teammates to guess what he's drawing (e.g. umbrella, school bus). If successful, that player's team is able to move forward on the track. The first team to reach the finish wins.
