Perquacky is a fabulous game that I grew up playing with my family. I buy it as a gift for young people now and then play with them to teach themthe game.
Played a lot with all age groups.Glad there is a timer.My 96 yr.old mother played,as did my 11 yr.grandson.Fun for all
Or perhaps low price, high volume, Wal-Martesque. I note that Perquackey is often sold out.
The craftsmanship is terrible, and I wrote the company about the faded die two years ago. I agree with game quality issues in full.
Perhaps the vintage games of the '50s and or '70s, both of which I played, are better constructed and made to endure the addiction of the game. I stated that I would be willing to pay more for quality.
I received no response. PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE.
Still, the game, itself, is a fast, portable, fix for Scrabble, is to "die" for.
I highly recommend it. I usually beat my mom at it.
We are always looking for new games to play that are fun, challenging, and stimulating to the brain. Perquackey fits the bill on that.It's a simple dice game with a timer where you spell out as many words as you can in 3 minutes.
I bought Perquackey for my mom for Christmas last year and we love it. We both enjoy trying to find the words the other doesn't see.
Once you get to 2000 points, then you become "vulnerable" and get 3 more dice added to the mix. but your words have to be longer.The game often goes back and forth as to who's winning and you can even lose your "vulnerable" status and points if you don't do well on a round.
but not always.Perquackey is a fun and fast-paced game that gives your brain a workout while not being tedious.
You can make a 3-letter, then a 6-letter, then a 4-letter.Bonuses are added if you get all your 3 & 4, 4 & 5, 5 & 6,. The object of the game is to create 3, 4, 5, 6.letter words.
Within a month of buying the game, my black cubes were fading or already faded. My family loves Perquacky, and we play it at least once week.
Perquacky is good for ages 10 up. Tracing over them was problematic.
The manufacturer really needs to fix this flaw in craftmanship. Five words per number group, but you don't have to do one group at a time.
Very helpful for spelling and vocabulary, and other language skills, especially anagrams (same letters make different words: a-e-l-p-s-t make petals, pastel, staple, pleats, and plates).
