Have you played Pictionary?!
Today in studio the creator of the classic Pictionary Game Rob Angel chats with Dr. Marissa
Since the mid-1980′s, charades-inspired game Pictionary has sold over 38 million copies in 60 countries, making it one of the bestselling board games in the world. It’s even been licensed by popular sitcoms like “The Simpsons,” “Friends” and “The Facts of Life.”
But what most people don’t know is that the game wasn’t originated by a toy giant, like Mattel or Milton Bradley, but rather by Rob Angel, a young waiter from Seattle – with no “toy experience” – who simply had a big idea and went for it.
Angel turned a weekly game night tradition into a bestselling board game and it made him and his partners multi-millionaires when they sold the game to to Mattel for $29 million. Now 62, Angel recently told the story of Pictionary in his book “Game Changer.”
