What players are saying
“Q-Less is just so darn clever and fun. Big plus: the game pieces feel nice to handle, are well made, very compact and easy to have in home, car, camper, or purse!”— Chris
“We really enjoy the game. My husband and I like to do it together after dinner and get so excited when we use all the letters and only 2 vowels.”— Lynn
“I looooove it! I 'fell' for an ad and bought two sets, one for me and my kiddos and one for my dad who loves word games. It shipped so quickly and is great quality, and we all LOVE playing!”— Monica

Meet Tom
Tom Sturdevant has been a foreign service officer, a Peace Corps trainer, a farmer, a filmmaker, an award-winning game inventor, and most recently, a songwriter. When he retired from the game business, Q-Less was nothing more than a few handmade prototypes played by family and friends.
Thing is, they all got hooked on it — including Tom, who often played it 20+ times a day!
So in 2018, at age 75, he decided to return to the game business and share his “labor of love” with the world. And by the way, to make the game play smoothly, Tom removed the letter Q. Hence, the name!

Great travel game
Fits in my purse and keeps the kids busy on flights. Occasionally an unsolvable roll but that's the game!
