Description:
This is a card and word game for 1-8 players. In the non-solitaire versions, the game consists of 8 rounds. In the first, each player is dealt three cards; in the second, four; and so on with the final round being 10 cards. Each card has one or two letters and a point value. At their turn, players can draw a card from the top of the discard pile or from the deck. They must discard one card. When a player is able to use all the cards in his hand (with one left for discarding) to spell words (which must use a minimum of two cards each), he may go out by placing the words on the table. The other players then get one more draw, and must play as many cards as they can. Scoring is done by adding up the point value of all cards used in words and subtracting any left over in the hand (not counting the discard card). In addition, the player with the most words and the player with the longest word each get 10 bonus points. If two or more players tie for a bonus, that bonus is not given in that round.

Why does Amazon call this a 'toy'? It's a game...Aug 21, 2010 There isn't much to say.. this game is sweet.. kind of like scrabble with cards. It moves a bit quicker though. Very entertaining. Great game if you love words. The end.
Great, but I recommend a time limit on turnsAug 13, 2010 This game really is wonderful. Those of you who love Scrabble will take to this like nobody's business. It can feel a bit like you're watching a chess tournament though if you aren't setting time limits on player's turns. I've seen plays take up to 20 minutes in the past. Rushing them actually improves the feel of the game though. Either way, a fun game that you should own.
QuiddlerJul 25, 2010 If you like Scrabble but don't want to carry it around, this is a great game. It's not easy but it's not painfully difficult, and it's fun. Great for vacation since it's easy to pack (and goes well with a glass of wine)!
More fun than any other word gameJun 24, 2010 Love this game. First played it on an Elderhostel Trip, and I have now given several away to friends. Great for groups of mixed abilities, as there is enough luck involved to help those who are less Scrabble Savvy.
Addictive Family Fun!Jun 04, 2010 After playing Quiddler at my Aunts house (in another state - while on vacation), I ordered one for my Mom for Mother's Day. Then, because it is such an addictive game, I ordered one for my husband and myself. Now that my friends have played it, they also want a Quiddler game. We really enjoy playing this game and I love seeing all the words my smart 8 year old can come up with. I highly encourage people (especially with children) to purchase this game. You will want to play it over and over.....never wanting the fun to end!
