The Board Game Family Morphology Junior board game review ...

Morphology Junior board game

Creative construction.

Kids love using their imagination to create stuff.
That?s why LEGOS are such a hit. Give a kid a tub of LEGOS and they can build all sorts of stuff.

Morphology Junior is a family board game that taps into that creative imagination and turns it into a game. But rather than just having blocks to build with, Morphology Jr includes a variety of objects that players use to build things.

See how easy it is to play in Brooke?s video review of Morphology Junior.

Can the whole family enjoy Morphology Junior?

Lots to play with.

Morphology Junior can be enjoyed by the whole family. Even though the player creating the object needs to be able to read the card, players who don?t know how to read can still participate by helping guess.

Since Morphology Junior is played as teams, it?s a good game for getting everyone involved. The game includes markers (frogs) for up to 4 teams and you can break up the teams however you?d like. With 6 in our family, we just split into 2 teams of 3 so each team can have 2 guessers at a time. But if we want to add more pressure, we can just as easily split into 3 teams of 2 each.

Morphology Junior versus Morphology

Tons of cards of items to build.

As with most games that have a ?Junior? version, the Junior version follows on the heels of a successful original version of the game. The same is true for Morphology Junior.

Morphology was first published in 2009 and Morphology Junior followed in 2012. The game play of the two games is pretty much the same with only a few differences. The objects cards or each game both give a choice of an Easy or a Hard word and don?t seem to be drastically different in complexity. And most of the objects to work with are the same time of things ? cubes, gems, string, rubber rings, etc. The biggest differences are the type of play allowed from the different dice rolls.

Kids love to build.

Morphology Junior has a couple of options from dice rolls that are easier for kids such as ?Ribbit, Ribbit? where players can make sounds and ?Morph? where players can be a part of the action ? like charades with props. Both of these are natural tendencies for kids to do anyway when trying to get their team to guess an object ? which makes the game easier for them.

By comparison, the original Morphology game includes play types such as Eyes Closed and Weak Hand Only ? conditions that are tougher for kids to work with. With these play types being the big difference we?d suggest that if you have kids playing, then reach for the new Morphology Junior version.

How does Morphology Junior score on the ?Let?s Play Again? game meter?
Morphology Junior board gameThe kids love playing with the items in Morphology Junior and think the game is too short. So when we play, it?s hard to stop at just one game. We?ve found most items are guessed correctly so the game moves along quickly. (Also moves quickly because we play as just 2 teams.) Then we just move our team pieces back to the starting lily pad and play again.

Thanks Morphology Games for a creative family board game.
