We found the inventor of Pictionary in Cascais – and he can't draw

We found the inventor of Pictionary in Cascais – and he can't draw

At 67, American-Canadian Robert Angel is one of many foreigners enjoying retirement in Cascais. Having lived in the town for a couple of years, the main difference is that, while he blends in on the street like anyone else, Angel created one of the most famous board games ever – Pictionary – where players try to guess words based on drawings, all under a time limit. It all started in the early 1980s, when Robert Angel was a fresh college graduate working as a waiter. A casual game he played with his housemates after work quickly turned into his career and a multi-million dollar business. Already an international phenomenon for years, in 2001 Pictionary was bought by Mattel, the world’s second-largest toy and game company. In his first interview since moving to Portugal, Robert Angel opens up to Time Out about what drew him to Cascais, recalls the wild story behind Pictionary’s invention, and shares touching stories from players around the world. Why did you decide to move to Portugal? I’d visited a few times and have a close friend who’s lived here for many years. It just felt natural – I felt at home. I came to visit him once and thought, “This is it.” I’d lived my whole life in the US but always wanted to live in Europe. Portugal and Cascais felt right: great people, fantastic weather, a slower pace. And if I want a bit more energy, I go to Lisbon – which is really close. I love walking around here.

It’s in the unassuming Galerias Valmor, a small shopping centre in the Matarraque area of São Domingos de Rana, where you can try the new (and serious contenders for the best pizza list) in the municipality of Cascais. On November 13th, Sour Dog Pizza was inaugurated by 26-year-old Ukrainian Oksana Horshchar, who has been living in Portugal for three years. Oksana was living in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, when the country was invaded by Russia. A friend, 31-year-old Radion Petrenko, also moved to Portugal. By profession a designer, Radion has always had a passion for pizza. In Portugal, he was offered a cooking course and began – quite literally – getting his hands in the dough. His passion grew, and before long, he and his friend Oksana were creating a business based on their sourdough and naturally fermented pizzas, which use a blend of organic and nutritious flours. The name, Sour Dog, is a playful pun on the English word “sourdough.” sarahawk A true scholar of the tradition and history of this Italian specialty, Petrenko has created a contemporary line of artisanal pizzas, breaking the usual conventions with his creativity in recipes – perhaps one of the best examples on the menu is the Abacaxi Santo pizza (€15.50), which is nothing like the infamous pineapple pizzas we usually encounter. With homemade chili and pineapple jelly, it features basil, mozzarella fior di latte, San Marzano tomato sauce, red onions, extra ham, and homemade pickled padrón peppers. The menu has ot
