Product Description
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.
Editorial Review
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

 A bit of fast fun February 22, 2010

Good for a couple fast games, but much better if played creatively with house rules: the original rules get old pretty quickly.
 It's a Solitaire Game for Many People February 17, 2010

The only interaction is that during your play/turn you get to chance to choose from the discard pile and only the card that the person before discarded. It's also too easy to make words and go out, two rounds is the norm; and the larger the word made means nothing extra. The high review average for this game says something about the people posting reviews in general.
Lots of family fun February 15, 2010

This has quickly become a new family favorite and is great for most ages with some ability to spell. Sometimes my 8 year old needs help arranging his cards into words to get the most points. Some of us like Scrabble, and some of us don't, but ALL of us like Quiddler! You don't have to be a lover of words and dictionaries to enjoy this game--though it just might get your kids looking up words in the dictionary to get more points in the next game.
Love this game! February 10, 2010

This is the BEST game ever! Its fun, quick, easy to play and for the entire family. We play this game quite frequently! Since its only a large deck of cards, its very versatile and can be played or taken anywhere!!!
Excellent when there's not enough time for Scrabble! February 7, 2010

Great for long rides, short attention spans, or not enough time for a full Scrabble game; and you don't need a lot of space, big boards with pieces that get lost OR BATTERIES! It's easy to learn, challenging even for adults, and a great way to get your kids to expand their spelling skills without making it boring. We have worn out three sets, and given four sets to family and friends who loved it. We will use two games at once when we have a lot of people playing. Since it is hard to find in stock in stores, I am thrilled we found them on Amazon. Try it. If you like Scrabble, you'll love this.
