A fast, appealing, and inexpensive word card game. Sort of a gin rummy with words. You start with three cards in your first hand, four on your next, and so on until you are dealt ten cards for your last hand. The challenge is to meld your entire hand into words. Draw and discard in turn. Try to use high scoring letters, but don't get caught with them uncombined. Quiddler rewards forming even short words because there is a bonus for making the most words in each round. Another bonus is rewarded for the longest word played in the round. Quicker and less intimidating than Scrabble Appealing card designs. Solitaire rules included.

Wise and Otherwise

"Wise and Otherwise is a charming, elegant addition to the Dictionary or Balderdash family of games. It has 2,500 wise, funny, and obscure old sayings from around the world. One player reads the first part an actual but little known old saying aloud. Then each player makes up his own ending. You earn points by fooling other players with your saying or by guessing the actual ending.

What could your friends and family do with sayings that begin like these? "Your dog wishes you.... "He that has plenty of pepper... "If your sword is short.... "He that has a great nose...

We sometimes take the cards from Wise and Otherwise, leaving box and board at home, to use as a travel game. Fun to play in the car.
