The Junior Variant of a board game is a variant created for young children. These variants are often rethemes of the board games that they are based on but the rules may also be streamlined to be more accessible to their target audiences, notably kids. The main motive for making these games could be for different reasons: To get kids involved in the board game hobby. Money, Dear Boy Allow children to play with other children to better socialise with each other. The original game may have rules that are too complex for 10-year-olds and below to understand and teach. To make a game that is usually for an older audience more appropriate for kids. Generally, the theme may be Lighter and Softer for children, especially with stuff like murder mysteries or war being changed to something more suitable for the target demographic, with some starring younger versions of the characters and an Art Shift coming naturally as well. If it's a trivia game, for instance, the topics covered will be changed to better suit their knowledge level. Compare with Abridged for Children. Please note: When adding an example, you need to state not only what makes a game a junior variant, but why a particular change was made in order to prevent zero context examples as these examples don't have their own pages. |

Clue Junior moves over the murder mystery theme to mysteries like The Case of the Missing Cake to The Case of the Broken Toy. This is achieved by the bases (replacing the clue cards) you snap onto the characters which have times on the bottom, and also furniture that details what they had. | |

Yahtzee Junior is a variant that replaces the numbers on the dice with popular characters (or various animals for non-licensed versions), with one in particular counting as the player's choice. The scoring sheet also has five of each character in a row, and color-coded tokens are placed on each tile based on what the player rolled. | |

7 Wonders has a simplified, more family-friendly variant in 7 Wonders Architects. Changes include removing the three-age structure in favor of playing a single round, making every building free to take (meaning resources are only spent on Wonder stages), making the non-wildcard resources largely interchangeablenote The costs to build Wonder stages are stuff like "2 resources of the same type" or "3 different resources". In contrast, costs in the original game require specific resources, with different types being favoured by different strategies. and simplifying decisions by only giving you 2-3 simple cards to choose from. Another clear sign that this was made for kids is that the manual tells you to make a horn sound when you take a red card with 1 or 2 horn icons on it and have to flip over that number of conflict tokens. | |

Monopoly Junior features anthropomorphised versions of the Monopoly playing pieces from whichever year it was released as well as a smaller board meaning fewer properties and a shorter playtime.

My Little Scythe: This variant started off as a fan-made variant by a daughter and father based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic with streamlined and simplified rules because they struggled to teach other kids the rules of the original game. This then got an official publication by Stonemaier Games, the publisher that published the original Scythe, with its own original branding. | |
