Pictionary

Hangman is a guessing game. One player thinks of a word that can be anything ranging from an object to a name of a favorite movie or show. You can really pick any theme you like. The other player tries to figure out that phrase by saying a letter within a certain number of guesses. Each time a letter is guessed incorrectly, a body part is drawn to create a figure of a man.
