Place a line of tiles on the table. They must also be attached to a matching tile already on the board, and must all be matching themselves. At the end of the game, once there are no more tiles to be drawn to replenish one's hand, the first person to play all of their tiles gains an extra six point bonus, at which point the game ends, and the player who has the highest score wins. It is simple to teach the basics and demonstrate examples of valid moves. It is simple enough for children to learn with the age recommendation being 6+. It is a great filler, ie a game you can easily play within an hour even with teaching the rules. The game is very re-playable, every game will be different because of combinations of tiles you draw and how the ‘board’ layout grows. Player interaction is there most turns because ideally you are always balancing what you can score now, what you might be able to score later and what opportunities your opponents might have by your placement. When you score a Qwirkle, score the lines you played that turn as usual. On top of that total, matching the full 6 tiles scores you 6 bonus points.
Two green tiles played at [C1] and [C4]. Although the tiles were not played next to each other, they were played in a single line and at least one of the tiles was played adjacent to tiles already laid down. Player scores four points for the green line [C1:C4] and three points for the circle line [C4:E4]. Qwirkle comes with 108 wooden tiles. Each tile is painted with one of six shapes (clover, four-point star, eight-point star, square, circle and diamond) in one of six colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple); there are three examples of each of the 36 tile color and shape combinations. [1] The box also contains a bag to store the tiles and a rule book. Qwirkle is very simple in respect of the basic game, but understanding how to ‘use the board’ ie the existing layout of tiles is something that adds a layer of depth. Try to avoid simply adding a few tiles to the end of a line, but think how you can score for multiple lines. a b c d e " Qwirkle: Mix, Match, Score and Win!" (PDF). Mindware at Oriental Trading .

Who starts the game?
Rather than wooden tiles, the game can be played with six-sided dice ( Qwirkle Cubes) or cards ( Qwirkle Cards). In addition, the original game has two expansions: Qwirkle Select and Qwirkle Connect; these are sold bundled with the original game as Qwirkle Big Box or Qwirkle Trio. One red 8pt star tile played at [D1]. Player scores four points for the 8pt star line [A1:D1] and five points for the red line [D1:D5]. Strategy Game: Qwirkle is the perfect game to hone player's tactical maneuvers, strategical planning, and forward thinking. This family game features a massive amount of choices, including 3 tiles each of 36 possible color-symbol combinations Not knowing what each player has in their hand makes you second guess yourself multiple times. Do you risk adding a fourth or fifth tile to a row? What if someone makes a Qwirkle and gets a bonus? Will I win if I keep playing it safe? In truth, not being able to see your opponents’ tiles does mean analysis paralysis can creep in. This in turn can really slow the game down. A Night On The Tiles If that sounds simple, it’s because the concept is simple. There is a good depth of strategy the more you dive into the game, though, making it great to play over and over with the same group.
instead of playing tiles, or if none of the tiles held can be played, exchange one or more tiles in their hand for random tiles in the draw bag. The game is played with two to four players. Each player starts with a ‘hand’ of six tiles. These are the lovely, chunky wooden tiles you get with different coloured shapes on one side. There are six different colours and six different shapes. Two square tiles played at [H5] and [H6]. Player scores five points for the square line [D5:H5], two points for the new square line [H5:H6], and two points for the square line [G6:H6].Every player, on their turn, is able to place 1 or more tiles on the table. To do so, the tile(s) they place must match either the color of the shape of the tile they’re being placed next to. Players score one point for each tile placed within a line, including existing tiles within the line. [3] The most tiles any line can have are 6 (since there are only 6 of each color and 6 of each shape in the game).
Qwirkle Cubes has the same goals and gameplay mechanics as Qwirkle, but instead of tiles, the playing pieces are 90 six-sided dice; there are 15 dice in each of the six colors. All six shapes of a given color are printed on the six faces of a single die. Remember: Trading tiles is your action for that turn, so you can’t do any tile placing and scoring that turn.Three red tiles are played in a single line [D2]-[D3]-[D4] to start the game. Player scores three points for the red line [D2:D4]. A tile can, and often will, be in multiple lines for a single play. This is the best way to maximize your points, since those lines add up for your point total that turn! I’ve had a copy of Qwirkle for a few years now. Up until about two years ago, it was one of about three board games I possessed. Qwirkle is actually a Spiel des Jahres winner from 2011. Not only is it prestigious, but it has also sold over 4 million copies worldwide… 1.5 million more than Lemonade by Beyonce.
