MindWare Qwirkle Board Game

It’s a gift so the box is not opened yet. I just have to assume all of the pieces are here!

Fun game! Family loves it. Even the four year old. Challenges adults and kids to put some thought into what’s going on.

A fun game that looks simple, but can get pretty strategic if played by adults. I recommend it for over 10-12 year olds. The younger children quickly got bored even though, at first, they enjoyed it. The 4 year old loved showing off his math skills as we added our scores, but got bored after several turns. One 10 year old found it not exciting, but the 12 year old showed great strategy and it kept her interest. Great for adults. The wood tiles are blocky and feel good to handle. The enamel finish is nice, but we have an issue with the colors. Although the colors look vivid in the pictures, the colors on black background can be hard to see in artificial lighting. White background would be much easier on the eyes, even for normally sighted individuals. My husband has red/green colorblindness and cannot tell the colors. The blue and purple look exactly alike to him. I had to take a permanent marker and write the first letter of each color in the center of each tile. It would be nice if the company would modify this to have a white background and make the colors more vivid, such as more difference between orange and red and between blue and purple.

I bought this game to take on vacation with my daughter and her family. It’s a great game for children and adults to play together, and we all loved it. My grandchildren ( ages 10 and 8) caught on quickly, and I think the 6 and 4 year olds will be able to play with some help. Adults who are better at strategizing can be very competitive and rack up points, while the kids can also earn points and improve as they go along matching colors and shapes according to the rules. It’s easy to talk while playing it, and we all had a lot of fun. The grandkids played it on their own the next day, and the parents played with them again after returning home, so they all really enjoy it. I highly recommend it. It’s a good change from traditional board games and adaptable for different ages.

Our four-year-old was able to play it (with just a little help). Good for all ages.

My kids are honestly, not too bright. They dont do well with games that require strategy. And they dont take losing well. They get easily frustrated with many board games. They love this game. So it is excellent for family game nights. You can play this game with very young kids, to the elderly. Even people with a partial language barrier could play this game together. All the players need to understand is language, shapes, and the rules.

Easy to learn; teach; giftable and fun for all ages 7+

This family friendly game is a combination of dominoes and Scrabble. It is a great way to teach young kiddos shapes, colors and addition. Great fun for adults as well. I suggest purchasing a set of wooden letter racks (similar to those used with the game Scrabble) to hold each players tiles.

It is fun to play and good for the brain to figure out your next move.

The games colors and shapes wore off. Called Mindgames company that sells game and they would not replace.
