> 3 dayBought this for my 13-year old grandson. Weve been using the travel-size version, but this is the best for at-home use. Great for adults as well.

> 3 dayQuiet afternoon? Nothing to do? My husband and I will pull Quirkle out. Hes not a real game fan but we enjoy this one. It is like scrabble but without words. There are so many ways to add onto the board. I love the wooden blocks. They are stored in the linen bag--no need to dump them onto the table and have the task of turning over the tiles. You draw out of the bag.

> 3 dayQwirkle is a fun game, and very easy for my 6-year-old grandson to grasp the basics. However, I immediately had a problem because I am red-green colorblind, as is a fair percentage of the male population. The colors chosen for the Qwirkle tiles include blue and purple, which are hard for me to distinguish. There are also green, red, and orange tiles, all in very muted tones, which look very similar to one another for those of us who are red-green color blind. I would suggest that Mindware consider using brighter tones to make the color choices more distinctive. I play other color-oriented games using green, red, orange, and blue game pieces, and I do not have trouble distinguishing the bright colors. I think Mindware has unfortunately chosen very muted hues of those colors, making the differences too subtle for some of us to discern. (Note: Purple vs. blue is always difficult for me, so I would avoid one or the other color in the same game.) We have decided to paint white dots on some of the pieces in order to distinguish one from another: purple pieces have one dot to distinguish them from blue (no dots). Green pieces have one dot and orange pieces have two dots, to distinguish them from each other and from red pieces (no dots). Yellow is no problem!! :)

> 3 dayLove the quality of the wood playing pieces. Nicely painted symbols. The cloth tile bag is also good quality. Two or four can play. You’ll need a flat surface to place tiles on. Easy basic rules of the game. Recommend highly.

> 3 dayI wish the tiles Were White instead of black, the black makes it difficult at times to see.
