A party game about imagining what happens if one thing morphed into another—or guessing what other players mean with their inventions.
That's Amorphe
What happens when you morph a cat halfway into a house? And what if you do it a little bit? A party game about inventing things and then asking others to guess what on earth you meant.
What’s the idea?
Draw two word cards. Place them open on the table: these are the start and end of your scale.
Then you draw a secret morph card. It tells you how much the first word morphs into the second word.
It’s up to you to invent something that fits the description!
What’s halfway a bike and a house? What’s 80% between a cow and a car? What’s mostly like a laptop, but also a little bit like a banana?
The other players must answer these questions. You score points only if they guess (close to) the correct morph number!
What do I need?
Four simple steps.
- Click the “Download” button to find the Rules and Material.
- Pick any one PDF with “word cards” (4 pages)—print it.
- Download the PDF with “morph cards” (1 page)—print it.
- Read the rules (2 pages) and have fun!
Want more? This website can generate random word cards for you! You know, if you’ve played the game fifty times and want some variation.
Taking too long?
Coming up with a great morph is hard. People might take too long on their turn, while they keep thinking and can’t make a decision.
To solve that, use my timer. A length of 1-2 minutes (at most!) should be great.

You can hire me! Maybe you need a special board game or video game for a birthday or educational purpose? I'm also open to inquiries about physically publishing my games. I am a registered freelance artist from the Netherlands and you can contact me professionally through my portfolio.
If unsure, visit my Online Store. It contains everything I ever made. Though it focuses on playful education and activities for children/family, first and foremost.
Another great way to support me is to simply let me know what you think! Mail me at harmonize@pandaqi.com with any feedback.
