Description

Quills is a word game like no other, where players use letter cards to form the best word they can, with the goal of earning the most prestige points. The twist is that the words are critiqued, and the player with the fewest critiques at the end of the game wins. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Quills is easy to pick up and play, making it accessible to a wide range of players. In just 30 minutes, 2 to 6 players can engage in a fun and competitive game that combines word-forming skills with pattern formation. As players draft cards and form words, they'll need to think strategically about how to minimize critiques and maximize their score. While having a strong vocabulary can certainly help, it's not the only path to victory. Players who can spot patterns and form long "melds" - sequences of cards in the same suit - can also gain an edge. This unique combination of wordplay and pattern recognition makes Quills a game that's both challenging and entertaining, with plenty of opportunities for clever players to outmaneuver their opponents. Whether you're a word game enthusiast or just looking for a fun and social game to play with friends, Quills is definitely worth checking out.
