Board games and mansions are not typically things that belong together in most people minds but in the case of Rob Angel they certainly do.

In 1985, Angel was waiting tables in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood when he was struck by an idea for a word game. After brainstorming and getting his creative juices flowing Pictionary was born.

After selling over 30 million copies in 42 languages around the world, the board game has made Angel a vast fortune, part of which he spent on this luxurious lakeside mansion, whose listing was provided by Wendy Lister.
