Quiddler: Idea #334

On this blog I have given lots of ideas for board games you can play to practice reading. What about card games? Try playing the game Quiddler. This is how you play:

1. This game is for 1-8 players and the game consists of eight rounds.

2. In the first round each player is dealt three cards. In the second round each player is given four and so on until the final round being a total of ten cards.

3. Each card has one or two letters on it with a certain amount of points.

4. Player 1 draws a card from the top of the deck or discard pile. Then Player 1 discards one card. When the player is able to use all of the cards in his hand to spell words, he may go out by putting the words on the table.

5. The other players then get to drawn one last time and must play as many cards as they can.

6. The scoring is done by adding up the points on the cards used in the words on the table and then subtracting the card value points not used. The player with the most words and the player with the longest word each get 10 bonus points.
