PDQ: The Pretty Darn Quick Word Game (2003)

About this game

Quick! Try to make a word out of the letters SMP. Sound SiMPle? How about PTR? Get the PicTuRe? In the lightning fast party game PDW, 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, and it's up to you to fill in the blanks. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game is the WNR!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 12. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
