In 1985, Rob Angel was a 26-year-old waiter from Seattle. With no previous experience, no plan and no money, Angel created the phenomenally successful and iconic board game Pictionary®. He made his own rules by relying on his intuition, hard work, and unwavering entrepreneurial spirit to build Pictionary into a global powerhouse. At first putting together the first 1000 games by hand in his tiny apartment, in 4 short years, Pictionary became the biggest selling board game on the planet.
For the next 15 years, Rob shepherded Pictionary to worldwide sales of 38,000,000 games in over 60 countries with over $1.2Billion in sales. In 2001 he sold Pictionary to toy giant Mattel and has become one of the biggest selling board games of all time.
