"Quickword" is one of the most entertaining word games I have seen, or played in a long time. A few weekends ago we had some friends over for dinner and they brought the game with them for some post meal fun. And we did have a blast with this fast paced, entertaining game of skill and logic. The game involves a unique number of word skills, general knowledge, strategy and playing with speed under time pressure.

There are four decks of colored cards which determine the order of play. Blue cards ask the players to list all the words they can think of relating to a specific category, like "parts of an airplane." Green cards offer 6 categories and the players write one word for each, beginning with the letter indicated by the spinner on the gameboard. Pink and gray cards ask the players to perform other word oriented tasks.

Pencils, pads, timer, gameboard, cards are all included. For two or more players, age teen to adult - although I bet some precocious preteens could give you a run for your money! Highly recommended!

Quickwords is something like a cross between traditional word games and a variety game (like Cranium or Quelf). There are five different games-within-a-game, and players travel around the board, trying to complete each challenge a predesignated number of times.

Word game fans of all kinds will enjoy this game. The challenges have elements of games like Scattergories, Scrabble, and many other linguistic challeneges. This game is not terribly well known, but it certainly should be.

Played this for the first (but not last) time at a friends on Thanksgiving. My 13 year old son did not want to quit playing. We had lots of laughs, groans and good times.
