Disney Pictopia

Who among those dwarfs is the leader?

On the track on the board you must reach Cinderella’s Castle and answer a final question to win.

The game comprises 200 cards; on the front they show four images, marked with letters A, B, C and D and on the back five questions marked with the symbols used on the game board track. One of the questions always is a personal “Bühne frei” question, one question is an individual question and three questions are group questions for all players.

One player in turn is host of the round and draws a card: He rolls the die, moves forward accordingly and reads out the question according to the symbol under his pawn. All other players choose one of their betting chips of values 1 to 5 and put it on one of the round cases beneath Cinderella’s Castle.

In case of individual questions all players but the host answer by marking the letter on their answer-disc. In case of group questions all players but the host agree together on either one, two or three answers, depending on the questions.

„“Bühne Frei“ questions always relate to the host, he answers with his disc and can, if his answer is another player, mark the player color of this person for his answer. All other players give a guess on his answer by marking it on their disc.

Then the solution is given and all players who answered correctly, move forward according to the betting chips they placed. Used chips are out of play until someone is out of chips and all players get back all their chips.

Pictopia is a standard game with nice details, especially an unusual mechanism for determining the reward movement range; the questions are well selected and the topic needs quite some special knowledge.
