Toys and Games Reviews of Quiddler
Customer Review: A real pleasure to play this game!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the game where Scrabble meets Rummy, with a touch of Hooked on Phonics thrown in for good measure. Quiddler is certain to entertain you for hours. This game will help sharpen your vocabulary skills in a short period of time.The game progresses from 3 card hands to 10 card hands, and point increase accordingly. You have to constantly be thinking of words and new words as the play continues. Once you start playing you start thinking, a refreshing change in a game.
Quiddler is a true family game game that will certainly challenge even the smartest. You can take this game on the road, camping or even flying and have a great time. For those on a price consciuos budget, this game fits right in.
About the only drawback is the fact that once you discard the card is gone. I think adding a "rummy" like rule of taking all the cards might add for more competition and higher scores. overall this game is sure be a party favorite.
Customer Review: Best Game Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Quiddler is my favorite game ever. It is great to travel with and great at parties too. Quiddler is amazingly easy to learn and play, requiring little explanation of the basic rules. I've played it with graduate students and ten-year-olds alike, at dinner parties and babysitting. It's very inexpensive and easy to set up. Because it is so lightweight and travel-friendly I often bring Quiddler on the train, camping, to the laundrimat, airport, etc. My sister and I have played Quiddler death matches for hours! It is so versatile that one can create any number of fun variations on the game - just like a deck of cards can be used in thousands of games - all it takes is a little creativity. I have had my deck for over 5 years and though it is well-used, it is in great shape. I also keep a small pocket dictionary with the cards to settle disputes. I recommend this game to anyone as an investment that returns more than its weight in G-O-L-D!Customer Review: Scrabble meet Rummy - a great game!

Customer Review: Addictive fun
Summary: 5 Stars
although there is not a lot of strategy to this game, I like that there is a nice ratio of luck to skill. Most appealing, perhaps, is that a range of ages can effectively compete. It's educational for youngsters, a mind-sharpener for senior citizens, and habit-forming for everybody.
I developed a "speed" version because the regular play can be slow if you have a lot of players who agonize over every draw. I deal 10 cards to each player, which they must hold face down until the clock starts. One card is turned face up to be a "hole" card for everybody to use. I allow one minute for players to make the best score they can out of their ten cards. Anyone can grab and use the hole card at any time, but must immediately replace it with a card from their hand. At the end of the allotted time, any cards you do not use do not count against your score. Highest score after 6 hands wins. Try it -- it will get your adrenaline going!
Customer Review: Quiddler card game
Summary: 5 Stars
The way Quiddler works is you play 8 rounds with each round getting one more card than the last one. The first round starts with 3 cards. To win that round you would have to pick up a 4th card, make a 3 letter word, and discard a card. Even if you win that round, someone else could have made a word with more points. We bought the Quiddler card game to have something fun to do in regard to spelling with our 8 year old son. He's very competitive so we made a rule that if we don't help him, he can double whatever points he comes up with on his own. My mother in law love this game, and that's saying something because she hates card games. I personally never liked Scrabble but with Quiddler I can actually win once in a while. My husband loves it, too. A wonderful feature is there are enough cards in the deck to have two people playing solitare side by side. Whenever the cards come out of the box, everyone swarms to the table!
