Quickword is a fast-paced board game involving a unique combination of word skills, logic, general knowledge and strategy. Players participate in every round to come up with as many words as possible in only 90 seconds. Players make word lists according to categories, letters and clues. Four color categories provide lots of exciting challenges. Race against the timer and outsmart other players. Each time you win a round, check off a colored box on the score pad. The first player to complete all color categories wins the game.
