This last week the kids and I had the oppurtunity to review a brand new game Morphology. This game is so simple and easy to start playing. No need to spend an hour reading the rules before you begin. Morphology is basically Pictionary, but the with objects.
The game is played with four or more players and lists the ages as 13 +, which I find a bit crazy. Hezekiah (7) was easily able to play the game and I believe any indpendent reader would do fine.
The game board is fun with lily pads and little frogs as the game pieces.
The game is played in groups of two. One player chooses a card and decides to make one of the objects.
Tilly version of "sink".
Here's where it gets fun. Using all of the funky pieces provided, you "make" your object. To make the game more exciting, you roll the die, and one of six variables is thrown in. Things such as: use only your weaker hand, pick five objects, make it with your eyes closed.
"swing"
"kiss"
The only one of my older children who wasn't completely thrilled with this game was Judah. He said, "It's too much like Creationary". But that is exactly what my other children love about it.
My favorite part? If pieces are lost, you could easily replace them with objects from around your house.
This is a great family game that can be used my multiple ages.

Sounds like fun! My girls love Creationary although we play pretty “free” form instead of by the suggested rules.
Just as a side note: my husband designs board games and I can tell you that many of the smaller companies have to use the ages 13+ on the box because of the CPSIA regulations passed a few years ago.
