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.
