Can someone give me an example of how this game is played?

Pretty straight-forward ... simple, but a bit complex at the same time. From an 8-stack card formation with each top card turned face up, Player One looks over all options for their best play. They pick up any cards in making a 2-or-more letter word and spells the word on their side of the table. Player Two then starts their turn by flipping any top-cards over to return formation to 8 face-up cards, and chooses their own word to play. IN ADDITION, he/she has the option of "playing on" their opponent's word with any other cards remaining in the formation. Play-ons are done by placing one or more cards on an opponents word -- INSERTING it somewhere, or adding and REARRANGING. I.E. .... add a "c" to "loud" to make "cloud," or add "a" to "nut" to make "tuna." When a player "plays on" someone else's word, they take the newly-made word to their side of the table. So, they steal the word, which adds a fun element. A player can "play on" as many words as they can each turn (even their own), providing they make a 2-or-more letter word first. We've found the rounds can be pretty humorous as people go about playing on an opponent's words. It's fun because it's not a race and there's lots of time for conversation while playing your turn. There's videos of game play online to help anyone who would like to see an example. Just do a search for "Play on Words Game." Players alternate turns doing the above until all cards are exhausted from the formation, and then points are tallied -- 1-pt per letter in all your words played. Highest score wins round.

Is this the second edition in the plastic box?

The ones on Amazon, which are in the larger cardboard box, are the third edition. If you want the second edition in the plastic case you can order directly from David James Games on the playonwordsgame website.

How is this game different than Quiddler?

Reply from David James, Play on Words game inventor ...Both Quiddler and Play on Words are fun, award-winning games and many word game fans have chosen to own both. But in a nutshell ... Quiddler is a more of a basic, draw/discard game in forming words for points in hands graduating between 3 and 8 cards. When you've made words using all your cards, you lay them down and add up your score, and there is no interplay between opponents' words.Play on Words, meanwhile, is more high-powered, brain-teasing game. In the base version of the game (the Starter Game), players can do multiple things on their turn. From the 8 face-up cards in the formation, a player makes one 2-or-more letter word and places it face-up, before them on the table top. IN ADDITION, they can take any remaining face-up cards from the formation to "play on" any existing word(s) already played (either your opponent's or your own). Play-ons are done by inserting letters into words, or adding to and completely rearranging existing words to make a brand new word. The reward for "playing on" an opponent's word is winning that new word to your side of the table. So, it's a fun tug-of-war of words between opponents. Players can play it at a very basic, or very advanced level. With all cards face-up, everyone knows what's possible at all times, and the game lends towards a lot of conversation as players consider their options. The game can also be played in teams.Besides the "Starter Game" version, there is another popular Play on Words game version included in the instructions, called the "Full Deck" version. This game variation plays in more of a conventional format, with 8 cards dealt out to each player and the hands hidden. From there it's a lot like Scrabble, playing and "playing-on" words for optimal scoring from turn-to-turn, and at the end of each turn players replenish their hand to 8 cards. This is an all-offense style of word play, and you play through the entire 80-card deck.Each game offers a Solitaire version in their instructions.Both games have combo letter cards. Play on Words features the five most common two-letter consonant combos in the English language: CH, CK, SH, ST and TH. Quiddler, meanwhile, uses IN, ER, CL and TH.And in addition to the above, Play on Words is made in America. Quiddler is made in China.

Do you think this game would be appropriate for an addiction group?

The game is great mental exercise for anyone who enjoys words and spelling. The all-face-up style of play keeps everyone engaged and allows for a lot a conversation and humor, at times, between players. And the game is not a rush, so it is not stressful.
