QuickWits (2013)

About this game

QuickWits is a fast-paced card game based on naming items within certain categories and descriptions. The game is very similar to Anomia, but the content is more mature in theme. During the game, players take turn drawing a card and placing it in front of them. Each card has one of six different symbols on it, and when two players have the same symbol on the card on the top of their pile, they face off. Each player has to name something in his opponent's card category before his opponent names something in the category on his own card. The fastest player takes his opponent's card and places it face down in his score pile. The game ends once all the cards have been dealt, and the player with the most cards in his pile wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 99.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 17 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
