Game Description:
 
SQUINT JUNIOR brings the eye-opening fun of the award winning game, SQUINT, to the entire family.

Picture this! Players use transparent shape cards to build simple pictures. Other players guess what the picture might be. Young players learn how pictures are created from shapes and improve their perception skills.

Everyone plays on every turn…the fun never stops! A great family game for three to eight players!
 
In Squint Junior, a player refers to a card showing the name of an object
and an example of a way to build a picture of that object. The Player uses
graphic shapes on transparent cards to form the picture on the card.
Other players attempt to be the first to guess the name of the object.
Simple lines and shapes develop into images that can be surprisingly
easy to recognize. 
 
This game reflects communication of ideas through representational images.
Players begin to recognize how shapes take on meaning and develop ways
of communicating ideas with simple shapes. For example, a circle, with two
smaller circles appropriately placed, becomes a face.
