Being
able to convey a thought or an idea with a few quick
strokes of a pen is a wonderful skill. Squint has its
roots in that skill as players must use cards with
pre-drawn lines to convey various images. You probably
could guess from the title that this is not the first
version of Squint and you would be right. Where the
original was more abstract, Junior features more guidance
and suggestions for putting the cards together in order
to get your partner or the group to guess your design.
Testers found that as their kids grew more confident
in their skills with the shape cards, they wanted to
branch off to more unstructured play which was fine.
They felt that that occurred only because Squint Junior
had laid the groundwork for thinking and communicating
abstractly.
