MindWare Qwirkle Board Game

I keep this game in my car so I can share it with friends and family. A few weeks ago I was spending a few days with friends (seniors). I introduced them to the game. They loved it. I left it with them and ordered a new one for myself. :)a

This is an easy to learn game. After we played, our guests liked it so much they went out and bought it. Weve played with seniors, adult kids and grandkids.

I bought this to go with a bunch of other games for Easter gifts but my husband wouldn’t let me put it out with the others because he wanted it!

We combine two sets to play with more people! So fun!

Kids enjoy the game, but in a pinch you could do the same thing with playing cards - having to match suites or card values and you could even mix it up saying Jacks are wild, for example.

Very few games can be enjoyed by the whole family especially if there are younger children. This really is fun, from the adult perspective, as we all have played games only because your kids like it (when youd rather be doing just about anything else). Because this is shape/color oriented it is still a good teaching opportunity for your younger kids to concentrate and scan the options and THINK. This does not make it boring for kids at all. If you are against mindless videos that kids react to, rather than think, this is a great game that you will NOT hide from the kids for fear that you will have to play it again! You can play the whole set of tiles to complete a game in about 45 minutes. Some games are faster once you get better at seeing your best move/ placing your tiles quickly during your turn. Some are a little slower depending on luck of your draw of tiles from the bag. You cannot play well on carpet as the tiles lay touching each other much like a crossword would look and they need to be lined up well for the game to progress. It ends up looking like a very large mosaic design usually about 2 feet sq. needed. It will not work on a large cutting board.

Our 10-year old and parents played this game (10-year old won). One game lasted about45 minutes and held the interest and enjoyment if all players. One described it as a combination if scrabble and dominoes.

Most kids can play this if they know shapes. Can make it easy or hard depending on who you are playing with. Easy to take along. Great new game

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

Engaging family fun after a long day!
