Difference Junior (2016)

About this game

Based on the popular "spot the differences" challenges found in books, newspapers and elsewhere, Difference Junior challenges your abilities to observe and react quickly. The deck includes two sets of double-sided cards, with one set being more challenging than the other. Place one card in the center of the table, then deal the rest out to players as evenly as possible. To start, each player looks at the top card of their stack, then tries to spot the two differences between their card in hand and the reference card on the table. Whoever spots their particular differences first stops play, demonstrates them to everyone, places their card on top of the reference card (creating a new challenge for everyone), then draws the next card from their deck. Whoever gets rid of all of their cards first wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
