There are many dierent games you can play using

the PDQ cards. Once you get good at the main version,

try some of the variations listed at the end of the rules.

Contents

78 letter cards

Object

The object of the game is to collect the most cards by making

words that include the letters on the cards.

Setup

Have a dictionary handy, in case someone says a word that you

want to look up to see if it’s a real word or to see how it is spelled.

Choose one player to be the dealer. (If you play games,multiple

take turns being the dealer.)

How to Play

The dealer shues the entire deck and deals three cards face up

in a row in the middle of the playing area. Make sure to deal the

center card rst, then deal one to the left and to the right of that

card as shown:

Once the three cards are dealt, all players, without taking turns, tryimmediately

to think of a word that includes those letters in order, from left to right or from

right to left. The rst player to shout out a correct word gets to keep the cards.

Word-Making Rules

• Must be four or more letters.

• Must start with either of the outside letters and continue in order

to the left or right.

• Does not have to end with the other outside letter.

• May contain any number of additional letters between or after cards.

• Cannot be a proper noun, compound word, abbreviation or foreign word.

Some examples

You cannot use:

No Word

If all players agree that no word can be made with the letters shown, the dealer

removes the three cards, puts them o to the side, and deals three new cards.

The first player to shout out a correct word in the next round also wins the other

three cards as a bonus.

Solitaire

In this one player version, the object is to get through the entire deck without

being stumped. Play like the version, however you may only make wordsregular

from left to right. Make as many words as you can until you get stuck on a set

of letters. Then count up the cards you have collected. Shufe the entire deck

and try to beat your high score.

Any-Which-Way

Words can start with any of the three letters (including the center) and continue

with the others in any order.

Four Score (For experts)

Before playing, remove two cards (Z and one X) from the deck. Then, play using

regular rules, only deal out four cards at a time, instead of three.

Stuck in the Middle

Words may start before either of the outside letters. But you still have to use the

letters in play in order from left to right or from right to left. For example:

A Word from Gamewright

We’ve released over 50 games in the nine years since we started, and yet this

is our very first word game. What took us so long? Well, let’s just say that great

things come to those who are patient... From the moment we played PDQ, we

knew it had the markings of a great game. First of all, it’s an amazing brain

booster. Not only does it help build vocabulary, but it also challenges you to

“read between the lines” by forming words out of component parts. Second, it’s

incredibly versatile. You can play almost an infinite number of games using the

same deck of cards. We’ve listed our favorites. Please send us yours. And last

but certainly not least, on top of being a game, PDQ is a great great word get-

together game family gathering . Whether it’s a small or a large party, you can

play with a wide variety of players and ages. Best of all, everyone can play at

once. Thanks for PLG!

You cannot use:

burped, lured or curdled because they do not start with one of the

outside letters.

Dracula, Drusilla or Urbandale because they are proper names.

After a player wins a round and collects the three cards, the dealer deals three

more cards to start the next round.

Ties

If more than one player shouts out a valid word at the same time, whoever has

the longest word wins the round. If the words are the same length, the dealer

removes the three cards, puts them o to the side and deals three new cards

that can only be played by the people who tied. The player who says the rst

valid word also wins the other three cards as a bonus.

The Letter “X”

If the letter “X” appears as one of the outside letters (left or right),

you can use “EX” as the rst letters in your word.

For example:

Ending the Game

The game is over when all cards have been dealt. At this point, all players count

the cards they have collected. Whoever has most cards wins.

Other Ways to Play

For Experts

Set a higher letters-per-word minimum, such as ve or six instead of four.

For Younger Players

Deal only two cards per round instead of three. Also, shorten the letter minimum

to three. For a slightly more challenging version, words must start and end with

the two letters shown.

Intergenerational Play

When adults play with children, raise the letter minimum for the adults to ve

or higher.

PDL (Pretty Darn Long)

In this version, it’s not the quickest player who wins the round, but the one who

makes the longest word using the three cards. Players go back and forth shouting

out words until no one can think of a longer word. Note: Once a word has been

said, it cannot be beaten by another player saying the plural or adding a sux

(i.e., -LY, -ED or -ING).
