Our family loves card and board games, and are always on the lookout for more offbeat games to add to our collection.  I can't remember how we acquired Quiddler, a word game, but given that we enjoy other word games such as Scrabble, Boggle, and UpWords, we figured Quiddler would be right up our alley.  Our first time playing it didn't go so well -- probably because we had a couple of younger kids trying to play -- but a second go-round with just adults turned out to be very fun and enjoyable.
