This is is FUN and EXCELLENT to play!!!!! It is like scrabble but with playing cards.  This makes it easy to transport.  The pictures on the cards are fun to look at at you can tailor this game for younger players by spelling simplier words.  We've had lots of fun learning how to spell words and challenging some of the stranger words we spell.  (My friend even looked in the dictionary for some ideas to use for the harder letters like X, Q, and Z).  You can get points for having the longest word or the most words and the letters you use to spell the words and you can play with just two players.  It's fun and fast to play, highly recommended.
