MindWare Qwirkle Board Game

Get the travel version which has much smaller tiles if you are going places.

We first played this game while on vacation, we liked it so much we bought it as soon as we returned home. There are not many rules to learn, but it is still a game that requires thought and planning. It is not a game for traveling because there are too many wooden tiles and an empty table works best as a playing surface. I will certainly be giving this game as a gift in the future, my whole family enjoyed playing.

Great way to chill with the family and also have a little competition- sometimes we don’t keep score but enjoy the process This is a must have

I love having games that are easy but fun for all ages! It’s my new favorite gift to give to families with kids. Adults love it, too!

So much fun love this new game

Although some strategy can be involved it is easy enough to play with elementary age children. The rules are pretty simple. That said, it is easy to blow it and place tiles where they arent allowed. A certain amount of watching each play is necessary to avoid mistakes. You need a good size table space because you never know what the layout of the tiles will be.

This has quickly become a family favorite! I would call it a mix between sudoku and dominos where you have to match colors and/or shapes without repeating any color or shape in a row. If youre lucky enough to get all 6 of either a shape or color in one turn, you get the maximum points which is called a Qwirkle. There is a lot of strategy involved and you have to look in all directions to make sure you are getting the most points possible. A couple of times weve noticed that someone had actually repeated a shape or color and no one noticed for a couple of turns which was quite funny, but we kept on and finished anyway. There are 6 shapes and 6 colors with 3 of every tile so the possibilities are endless!! It takes about 20-30 minutes to play depending on how fast or slow some of the players are, so it doesnt take forever. Weve found even some young kids are able to pick up on this although they might need a little bit of assistance. Great family game!

loved the game.

Not too difficult to learn and the whole family can play. The colors, designs and the feel of the square in your hand are very pleasing.

I had never heard of this game before and we love board games. My Aunt introduced us and even Grandma enjoyed it. I ordered it when I got back home.
