Mattel has unveiled a futuristic twist on a classic board game, introducing artificial intelligence into its gameplay for the first time.
Pictionary Vs. AI, Mattel's first board game to use artificial intelligence, has all game players draw as the AI guesses what they've depicted, according to an announcement from Mattel on Tuesday.
The game is "a new, modern way that fans can engage with the brand, combined with the hilarious quickdraw gameplay they’ve always loved," Ray Adler, Mattel's vice president and global head of games, said in a news release.
How it works
Players can win if the AI correctly guesses what they've drawn. Game players can also earn points by predicting whether the AI will correctly guess other players’ sketches.
There are also challenge rounds available, in which players can participate in kooky activities like drawing with their eyes closed or without their hands.

How do I get the game started?
Its pretty simple, really.
The AI is launched as soon as a QR code is scanned by a mobile device included with the game. Pictionary Vs. AI uses Google’s Quick, Draw! to guess the correct drawing.
Quick, Draw! is "artificial intelligence that’s been trained with millions of user-submitted drawings," Mattel said.
Where can I buy Mattel’s Pictionary vs AI?
The game will be available to pre-order starting Wednesday at Mattel’s Shop for $24.99.
It will be available on store shelves on Oct. 2.
