How to play:
Three decks of cards (yellow, blue, and red) are placed where all players can see them. Each card states a category or rule, according to the color of the deck, and players race to shout out any word that meets all three criteria. The first player to shout a correct word gets to keep a card from the pile, and the first person to collect five cards wins the game.
Sample gameplay:

RED CARD: Must contain the letter E

Review :
"If you love Scrabble and are a spelling pedant (party at our house, you guys), we have found the thing to get your heart pounding. Like Pictionary but for words, Quicktionary is a fast-paced card game with countless combinations, which will stretch your vocabulary and help you build a repertoire of unusual lexicon to astound friends and family alike. It’s working already…" Emerald Street
