Quiddler

Wonderful game to play with family %26/or friends. Great for youngsters to learn spelling. Fun interaction for all ages.

As a retired teacher of English and foreign languages, I often gift this word -creating card game to the children of friends and relatives. Children can look up possible words in the dictionary when needed. In the meantime, they are learning vocabulary, spelling, and most of all strategy. The game is wonderful fun for adults as well!

We were gifted this to try out and I'm so glad because this is such a fun family game. The game seems so simple, take some cards and make some words, but once you hit five cards it is much harder then you think!! My older son and husband had a blast with this and really got into who could make the longer word. My 8 year old had some trouble but l loved that this incorporated learning into our family game night. Though it makes you think, it is still fun!! I do recommend keeping a dictionary on hand for this though!! My only suggestion as many other have had, is to remake the size of the letters on the cards. The middle images are hard to decipher on some letters and if anyone is hard of seeing the corner letters are rather small. Other than that though I can see this being a nice rotation for family nights.

I received this game in exchange for an honest review. This game was a huge hit with my 11 year old and myself! We love playing scrabble together so I thought this would be fun. It really was! The goal is to get the most amount of points by getting high point words using all of the cards in your hand. Each hand increases the number of cards by one. You can try to do really hard words. Or keep them simpler for younger kids. If you like word games, you'll love this one!

Me and my son just received this game, we played a full game to get the hang of it. We're confident the rest of the family will enjoy this one. Two decks of cards, we were always able to end a round fast, probably too fast (my son kept going out, thank goodness you don't lose points for leftover cards in your hands). We'll be playing this one again, a good friend/family game, plays fast, and considering you can spell multiple words, it's really easy to get a bunch of 2 and 3 letter words to go out fast. We're going to have to track down a small dictionary to keep with the game.

We were introduced to this game by some friends while on vacation. It was fun and challenging, even for people without big vocabularies. It doesn't require knowledge of weird words like you need for Scrabble. You get points for the most words from a single hand, or the longest word, so you can make a bunch of small words and still win. Good for kids and adults. You will need to hold 11 cards, so if you have arthritis or for kids with small hands, you may want to use a card-holder of some type.

It can be a big aid for youth learning vocabulary and how to spell, as well as for older minds that need to be kept sharpened.

Great word game! Fun to play for all. Start with three cards and go until you have ten. Get extra points for having the longest word or the most words.

My wife and I were introduced to Quiddler many years ago by a friend. We probably play about 300 games a year, sometimes two or three a day. I just received two sets that I ordered which should last us several years. Our last set got sticky from suntan lotion because we played by the pool.

This was recommended from a friend who always plays it on vacation. We tried it and loved it. Like scrabble in your hand. Great for travel. Just a deck of cards and nothing else. We played with 3 people and 4 people. Even has an option for solitaire.
