8. Pictionary
A slightly different game in our list of the most sold board games, this one requires you to use your drawing skills as well as your brain. Perhaps owing to its simple premise – sketch the word on your card and your opponent has to guess what it is – Pictionary amazed the industry when it sold 20 million copies in its first year. Creator Robert Angel came up with the idea whilst at a party – he picked out a word at random from the dictionary and the other guests had to draw it. While it has gone on to enjoy success as a TV game show, the original board-game is still enjoyed by budding artists across the globe.
