Pictureka! really didn’t need any more mechanics but the game decided to add some anyway. The problem with Pictureka! Flipper is that like most spin off games, the designers tried to add more mechanics to the game than were necessary. Kids will probably enjoy it more than adults, but adults could have fun with this element of the game. The mechanic is simple so it works well for children. It is fun frantically looking through the pictures for the objects that you need to find. On the positive side the elements of the original Pictureka! are present in Pictureka! Flipper and are still fun. Unfortunately Pictureka! Flipper fails for many of the same reasons that most spin off games fail. Even though I am skeptical of spin off games, I was interested in checking out Pictureka! Flipper because I enjoyed the original game. The original Pictureka! was a good family game that could be enjoyed by both kids and adults. It was a fun implementation of the Where’s Waldo concept where you have to find specific objects within a group of random objects. ReviewĪ couple years ago I played the original Pictureka! and I was pleasantly surprised. The player who collects the most picture tiles wins the game. The game continues until the penguin blows a raspberry or you run out of picture tiles. When the penguin stops choose the next mission card and everyone tries to find objects that match the mission corresponding to the color on the penguins head. When this happens all players must stop playing until the penguin stops flipping out new cards. When all of the missions on the card have been used, set the card off to the side and start using the next mission card.Įventually the penguin will start flipping out new cards. When both missions on one side of the card have been used, flip the card over to the other side for two new missions. When the color changes the players need to find objects that match the mission of the new color. Before the light changes the penguin makes a noise. Occasionally the light on the penguin’s head will change colors. If the color is green they would look for something striped which includes the person’s shirt on the right card. They could take the card on the left because it features a monster. If the light on the penguin is red, players would look for a monster or alien.
