The first reaction I had when playing Squint is that it's a fantastic new game for fans of Pictionary. You don't draw, at least not with pen and paper, but you do create shapes and try to get the other players to guess what you've put together. A set of 72 sturdy shape cards (adorned with straight lines, curves, squiggles, boxes, and many other shapes) are your tools to get the other players to guess words and phrases like "police car," "rocket" or "toothbrush." While one person builds, every other player tries to guess -- the builder and the guesser both win points if the object is identified before the sand timer expires.
