Mix, match, score and win! Qwirkle is a must-have for your next family game night. MindWare's best seller is a simple game of matching colors and shapes that requires tactical maneuvers, quick-thinking and a well-planned strategy. Players score points by building rows and columns of brightly-colored tiles that are either all the same color or all the same shape, without creating duplicates. Look for opportunities to score big by placing a tile that touches multiple pieces with matching attributes; create a line of all six in a row, and you score a "Qwirkle!" Qwirkle combines the gameplay of Dominoes and Scrabble and is the perfect combination of skill and chance. For 2 to 4 players.

Gameplay Overview Qwirkle is the Spiel des Jahres-winning tile game from MindWare that's earned its place as one of the all-time great family strategy games. The premise is beautifully simple: 108 wooden tiles in six colors and six shapes, and a shared board where you build interlocking rows and columns. Every tile you place must match either the color or shape of its neighbors — but never both — and no duplicates are allowed in a line. Score points for every tile in a completed row or column, and if you manage to build a line of all six, that's a Qwirkle — the highest-scoring play in the game. The deeper you get into a game, the more the board fills up and the more satisfying (and tricky) every placement becomes. Easy to teach in two minutes, endlessly strategic in practice, and genuinely enjoyable across generations — it's a perennial best seller for good reason.
