User Submitted Quiddler ReviewsDate: 2008-08-30 A great mind-challenging game Quiddler is a very challenging game for adults and teenagers. It helps to develop vocabulary, is easy to learn, and doesn't take hours to play. Younger children can also play, but adults will have a decided advantage. Date: 2008-08-26 Better than Scrabble! Get this game--agree on the house rules regarding use of dictionary--and HAVE FUN! Currently our favorite game. Date: 2008-08-19 Well worth it. For such a simple concept, this game is a lot of fun. We can play in any of the languages used in our home (English, French, or Spanish). I enjoy this game more than I do the traditional game of Scrabble, mainly because it is a quicker game and you can keep a running score of how well (or how poorly) you are doing. Other great features are the portable nature of the game; the single/two-person/multiple-player modes of play; and the sturdy, laminated cards. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys crosswords and other word puzzles. Date: 2008-07-21 a fun cross between Gin and Scrabble This is a fun game. The rules are similar to Gin -- get each card in your hand into a straight before your opponent does and you win. But instead of suits and numbers each card has a letter or pair of letters, and the goal is to make words. The first hand is 3 cards, the second hand is 4 cards, etc...on up to 13 cards. I like this game because unlike Scrabble, the person with the amazing vocabulary doesn't always win, because several short words are just as effective in using up your cards as one long word. (In fact, you get a 10 point bonus for either longest word OR most words). So my 8 year olds aren't outgunned by their word-loving elders. As a nice plus, the art work on the cards themselves is well done. The only minus is that the deck is double sized (110 cards) and so shuffling is a bear. Would also have been nice if they included a container that held the whole deck (instead it comes with a tray that has slots for 2 half decks.) Date: 2008-06-30 Quiddler Game Lots of fun to play! We are all adult ladies, senior citizens, and we love this game. It is challenging and keeps your mind active.
