Good game

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas based on the reviews on Amazon. I was aware that on being opened it probably wouldn't have the appeal of (yet another!!) Barbie or Polly Pocket set but was hoping it's appeal would grow and I was not disappointed. On its simplest level it is game that involves matching either colours or shapes. However, there is also the strategy element of avoiding leaving a line of tiles which your opponent(s)can complete and maximise their score. Simple rules - you can have a maximum of 6 tiles in any one line. You cannot repeat a shape in a shape line and you cannot repeat a colour in a colour line. You score a point for each tile put down and if you place your tiles carefully you can maximise your points if you add to other lines. The player who completes a line of 6 tiles (a "qwirkle")gains bonus points, scoring a minimum of 12 points for completing a qwirkle. This is a quick game to learn and set up and our games have lasted about half an hour so not too lengthy. In my view there is nothing worse than a game where the rules are complicated and take ages to understand - particularly if you have a child desperate to get on with the game. A couple of run throughs and we got the hang of it. My 14 year old who is now a bit sniffy about board games and would rather play on his xbox played with us and enjoyed it as well. It is a great game that all ages can enjoy. The other point I would make is that this is a lovely, solid game. The tiles are nice chunky wood and even the box is robust. A game we will play time and time again. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

My father introduced me to the game, have played the full size game a few times and enjoyed it so much thought I would get one for myself. I travel around a lot and this mini game is ideal to just throw into my bag and play any time. Not too fiddly or small easy to explain and play have used it many times and introduced it to many friends already.

Great game for all of the family Thank you.

I was recommended this game by a friend and wanted to give it to my boyfriend's two daughters aged 10 and 12 who love playing board games. We all played it together and had such fun with it. It seems very simple - and it is - but there is a degree of craft and strategy involved if you are to maximise your point score when placing your tiles and if you are to try and block the other players from making a Quirkle before it is your next go. We spent an hour playing the first game but the following games were a lot quicker, probably about 40-45 minutes. It definitely brings out the competitive streak whilst at the same being a lot of fun. Because you are not counting just one point for each tile placed, but one point for your tiles placed PLUS the number of tiles in the line you have just added your tile(s) to, you have to keep score throughout your go so quite good for your mental agility and obviously a good exercise for younger children. It would be great for the whole family or group of friends, particularly with a glass or two involved!
