Rules

Except for the following additions, the original rules for Pictures apply:

• The two new sets are added to the original Pictures sets. At the start of the game, players choose 5 sets to play with.
• Use the two new sets as follows:

Transparent cards and picture frame

Arrange the cards any way you like inside the picture frame. The cards can only cross the edge of the frame with their transparent part; the black forms and lines must be completely within the frame. The cards are explicitly allowed to be stacked on top of each other. You don't have to use all available cards.

• Special challenge (variant): Use the round side on the back of the picture frame for a more difficult challenge.

Dice and dice bar

• When it's your turn to use the set of dice, start off by rolling all the dice. Place any number of them on the dice bar. The green area means that the rolled symbol of the placed die fits the picture you're trying to describe very well. The red area means the rolled symbol of the placed die doesn't fit the picture at all. (The printed example shows a turtle, which would fit the picture, and an anchor, which would not.) Dice can also be placed in the intermediate area. Depending on how well you think the symbol fits the picture, place them closer to the green or red area accordingly. For example, a die placed in the middle of the yellow area doesn't fit the picture particularly well but also doesn't contradict it.

• After having placed the dice from your first roll, continue rolling all unplaced dice and again place any number of them on the dice bar.

• Roll the remaining dice one last time and again place any number of them on the dice bar. After your third roll you may also rearrange any previously placed dice on the dice bar. At least 3 dice have to be present on the dice bar in the end.

• Special challenge (variant): Dice may only be placed on either the red or green area on the edges of the dice bar. The intermediate area may not be used.

Play with 6 players

Use 6 sets of components and play over 6 rounds. After 3 rounds remove all 16 photo cards from the grid and replace them with new photo cards. Return all coordinate tokens to the cloth bag.

As an alternative, you can replace the photo cards that have been pictured with new cards from the stack and return all coordinate tokens to the bag after each round.
