Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Morphology is a fun, creative and challenging party game combining simple shapes with your imagination and creativity. Using wooden sticks, glass beads, colored cubes and other objects, how would you create a butterfly or an airplane? Now try doing it with your eyes closed – or by using only the string! Unlike Pictionary and other "illustrate a word" games, in Morphology you can use lots of different bits to recreate a word and bring it to life, even animating the object if your brain takes you in that direction. The important thing, of course, is that your team must be able to figure out what that object is before time runs out. Words come in two degrees of difficulty. Players advance on a score track as they guess words, but as you near the finish line, a die roll determines how you're handicapped: eyes closed, using only string, one hand, limited number of objects, etc. On your second-to-last turn, your opponents choose which three objects you can use to create the word that your team needs to guess in order to win.
