PDQ Pretty Darn Quick

Quick! Try to make a word out of the letters SMP. Sound SiMPle? How about PTR? Get the PicTuRe? In this lightning fast party game, it's an all-out race to be the first player to shout out a word using all three letter cards in play. Each round starts with a different set of letters - it's up to you to fill in the blanks. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game is the WNR!

From the moment we played PDQ, we knew it had the markings of a great game. First of all, it's an amazing brain booster. Not only does it help build vocabulary, but it also challenges you to "read between the lines"; by forming words out of component parts. Second, it's incredibly versatile. You can play almost an infinite number of games using the same deck of cards. And last but certainly not least, on top of being a great word game, PDQ is a great get-together game. Whether it's a small family gathering or a large party, you can play with a wide variety of players and ages. Best of all, everyone can play at once.
