The challenge of Quiddler is to arrange your entire hand into words. Draw and discard in turn. Try to use those high point letters, but don't get caught with them uncombined! Quiddler is fast paced because you can play using everyday words. A bonus is given for the most words in each round (so little words can help you win), as well as for the longest word. Quiddler is a delightful challenge for both rookies and word game lovers. Quiddler is for up to eight players.
The rules are brutal, but the rewards are worth it in this card game that works a bit like Scrabble. Although there is a solitary version of the game for one player, you can play with up to eight. Cards containing letters of the alphabet and special combinations of letters are dealt in increasing number each time the dealer completes a round. Once you've collected your share, you can discard and pick up a new card with each turn. The object is to turn all the letters in your possession into dictionary-proof words while leaving one stray card as a final discard. You want to be the first to accomplish the goal, of course, but there is a scoring system that makes the play competitive for everyone. One nice element is the cards themselves: the letter design is based on beautiful artwork from Celtic manuscripts. This card game is a 1999 Parents' Choice Silver Award winner. --Tom Keogh

Summary: A great find
Comment: I use this game with my middle school students. It is a Friday treat and it makes them think. This game fosters belonging and is educational. The kids will help each other find words so that they can go out and not lose points! To see them working together like that and learning is great.

Summary: Fun for Parties
Comment: I received this at my last birthday party and we had 7 adults willing to try it out. Took a while to play, well over an hour, but it was a lot of fun for everyone I think. Not sure about all the rules... we collectively thought the "can only use dictionary when it is not your turn" made it too easy for folks to hog the help. It feels like a cross between Scrabble and cribbage.

Summary: What has eight letters and spells FUN?
Comment: This card game is addictive! I learned it quickly during a group camping trip, vowing to buy my own deck upon my return. I've since bought several more decks and have taught it to my family and friends (young and old). They're all as hooked on it as I am.

It's a word game, but since the words formed are usually no more than 3-6 letters long, it's accessible to a wide range of spelling abilities. An average game can last 20-45 minutes and scoring is simple. Our family chose to use an official Scrabble dictionary as a reference, since the guidelines of the two games are similar.

The playing cards are high quality, made to stand up to many hundreds of rounds of the game. The instructions are clear and concise (one can also play solitaire Quiddler).

I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes word games and to groups whose participants have varying skill levels.
