Quickword: The Ultimate Word Game (1991)

About this game

Quickword is a fast-paced board game involving a unique combination of word skills, logic, general knowledge and strategy. Players participate in every round to come up with as many words as possible in only 90 seconds. Players make word lists according to categories, letters and clues. Four color categories provide lots of exciting challenges. Race against the timer and outsmart other players. Each time you win a round, check off a colored box on the score pad. The first player to complete all color categories wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 12.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
