Description:
Quiddler, is a beautiful word game with naturally
smooth gameplay that plays fast. These are essentials for a successful game that
few word games have. Using special cards, Quiddler draws on one's ability to combine
letters into words. Players must combine their entire hand into words trying to use
the highest point value letters. Quiddler challenges you to do this first with
three cards (round one), then with four, on up to ten cards in the last round.
A bonus is given for both the longest word, and the most words made by a player
in each round. The average game takes 20-40 minutes.
Although it may appear that the person who knows the most words would consistently win,
this is not the case when playing Quiddler. There is a visual perception aspect that
draws on combining the cards with the highest points into the words rather than the
first words a player recognizes. There is also an element of strategy. Players who
win often don't go out at their first opportunity; on the other hand, sometimes they
go out as soon as possible. Their actions are aimed at increasing their odds of getting
either the long-word or the most-words bonus.
The game works well for both beginning readers and accomplished word game players.
Youngsters can enjoy Quiddler because players can win using short words. This
results from the bonus for getting the most words in any round, which, of course,
is obtained using short words i.e., zoo, is, of. On the other hand, accomplished
word lovers are challenged because of the bonus given for the longest word in any
round, as well as the aspects noted above.
The solitaire rules included with Quiddler result in endless hours of word challenges
for the single player. Although each game is quick to play (about 15-20 minutes),
people have tended to play game after game.

User Reviews:
|  Fun, Fast and Imaginative
My family loves this game and plays it often. It's a true classic and I highly recommend it.

| One of our favorites!
We play this game often. Can be played with very young children by playing cooperatively. Everyone keeps their hands face up and helps each other make the best play possible. Kids learn a lot of words this way, see adults being interested in words and have a fignting chance to win.

I play Scrabbles and Bananagrams with my Mom all the time -- when we first played Quiddler, we thought it was "OK". Then as we played more, we started to learn all the little nuamces that make this game a real strategy in so many different way! Now we love it!
The games go fast, but are long enough that several lead changes can be made. Do you go for points? Biggest word? Most words?

| Such a Fun Game!
Quiddler has become a family favorite on Sunday nights. Right after Sunday night dinner we play Quiddler with our daughters and their friends. We are always amazed what words they come up with. This game is a must have and it's such a fast game.

| Looooove it!!
We have played this game with children as young as 5 and we all have a blast. It's like scrabble with cards.
