Testimonial from Name Undisclosed

Anton--I'm not sure how to leave a testimonial on your Squabble Web site, so I'm sending it directly to you. Hope that's OK. (If possible, could you conceal my name and email address? I could be Bianji (editor) perhaps.) Thanks.

Ever since my son-in-law taught me a game he and his schoolmates played in elementary school in Nan Jing, I've been looking for a game that comes close. His game was: one child uses a stick to write a radical in the schoolyard dirt. Another child made a word using the radical. Another made another word using the same radical. If you failed to make a word, you were eliminated from the game.

As a foreign student of Chinese, that sounded like a great way to practice my vocabulary, so I played it as a solitaire with pen and paper. But when I heard about Chinese Squabble, I knew it was the game of my dreams. It took me three years (I think) to buy a set of cards for delivery to the U.S., and I've played it every day since it arrived a little over two weeks ago, and surprised my Chinese teacher today with my improvement in reading and writing hanzi.

Good game, you guys. Very well thought out, very accurate and comprehensive and attractive to look at. Thanks.
