How to Play

A typical game of Qwirkle lasts about 45 minutes--longer when you're first learning how to play--and players will likely catch on to the rules in no time at all. The game can be set up anywhere, although a large tabletop is best to accommodate the generous number of tiles. The only other thing you'll need is a pencil and paper to keep track of everyone's point count. Each tile has an illustration on the back (circle, eight-point star, four-point star, square, clover, or diamond). Each of these symbols appears in six different colors (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple). In total, the game has three tiles each of the 36 possible color-symbol combinations. To help make sure you don't lose any tiles in between games, Qwirkle comes with a drawstring storage pouch which is also used during game play.

Straightforward, Easy-to-Follow Rules

As in Scrabble, the game starts with players drawing their own "hand" of six tiles. The player with the most tiles that share something in common (color or symbol) plays their pieces and wins points. And so it goes until the pieces make up a giant grid. One rule adults will likely need to reiterate to little ones is that duplicate tiles aren't allowed. For instance, if someone has three diamonds, and two of them are green, they can only play one of those green diamonds on a turn. As play continues and the stakes get higher, younger kids may need some help deciding where to build to maximize their points. To keep younger childfren engaged, parents can distribute half the number of tiles to start. The game is over when all the tiles have been played and all the points have been tallied.


Qwirkle Cubes Qwirkle Cubes combines favorite Qwirkle game play with the added excitement found in dice-rolling games. Players can roll their cubes for a chance to get the colors and shapes they want to score more points. Complete a line of 6 tiles with no duplicate attributes to score a “Qwirkle!”	Qwirkle Bonus Qwirkle fans asking for tile racks will love the Qwirkle Bonus Pack! 4 racks display and organize each player’s hand of tiles during play. The pack also includes a score pad and colorful Qwirkle pencil to tally points.	Qwirkle Rummy Qwirkle Rummy is the fun family card game based on MindWare’s award-winning game! Players create sets of cards by matching suits or colors and laying them face up on the table. Any player can add to any set or switch cards in the sets but the real payoff happens when a set of all 6 shapes or colors is completed and a Qwirkle is scored. A little bit of strategy and a little bit of luck is all it takes — as long as you keep your eyes on the cards and your mind in the game!

Mr. McGibblets

The Game to Play with Non Gamers

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have been enlightened. Throughout my childhood and for the majority of my adult life I was resigned to the notion that the board gaming landscape was sparse and barren. Populated only by a few unenticing, played out old names like Life, Scrabble and Monopoly (Which to this day, I'm certain has never seen a match played to completion). However, my eyes were opened by a new wave of innovative, engaging titles like Pandemic, Small World, 7 Wonders and many more. I've been a true believer and tabletop enthusiast ever since. Alas there is one big problem... Most people I know have the same narrow minded approach to board games as I once did. It just isn't easy to get a group together. The heavy fantasy and sci fi themes of my favorite games only serve to compound that difficulty as it seems to create an illusion of complexity and carries with it the stigma of intense nerdiness. I can see the eyes start to glaze over when I attempt to broach the subject. Whatever shall I do?

Enter Qwirkle! This game relies on such a simple concept of matching colors and shapes that it would be easy to dismiss this as something childish, certainly beneath that of any respectable gamer. But that is the beauty of it. It dumps the polarizing themes that tend to put newcomers off and the rules are so straightforward that the game can be explained in just a few sentences. What little confusion one might have is usually resolved within a couple of turns and suddenly a world of strategy begins to unfold as you subtly try to mislead, block, and steal combinations from the clutches of your beloved opponents. It is truly a wonderful tool for family bonding and better still, it serves as a gateway game to pull loved ones into the world of table top games.

That was my fiendish plan all along and the reason I even bought this game to begin with. With little effort, I was able to coax my niece, dad and step mom to give it a try. The result was a super fun evening of laughter and surprisingly stiff competition. I narrowly secured a victory with my last move and that alone is a testament to the excellent game design. The game was so captivating and easy to learn that there was virtually no handicap for newcomers. If you would like to dip your toes into board games or perhaps coerce a particularly resistant individual to give them a try, I cannot recommend Qwirkle enough.

J. Rose

Great game! Regarding missing pieces & different packaging...

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

A lot of people are talking about receiving the game with missing instructions & pouch. Mine was also missing the instructions & pouch. However, I contacted Amazon, and promptly received a replacement along with a free-shipping RMA. To my surprise, the new one was very different.

First, the box is much bigger. It also has different labeling on the front. Most importantly, it seems to be made by different companies. The original smaller box (missing instructions & pouch) is made by Smart Elephant, where the new larger one is made by MindWare. There are also a few other differences in the front. The backs are completely different. I won't detail each difference, but I will post pics showing the differences.

After seeing the pouch and instructions, I don't see how the Smart Elephant version *could* contain the pouch alone, not to mention the pouch *and* instructions. The tiles are such a snug fit in the box, it would have to bulge in order for the folded pouch -- and particularly the draw-strings -- to fit.

And this is even though the bottom-front cover of the Smart Elephant box clearly states "Instructions Included", and the back also lists "1 bag" and "1 instruction booklet" in the list of components. So I'm not sure if this is a counterfeit or if it's just poor production.

Regardless, if you don't get the MindWare version, you should probably contact Amazon for a replacement. If anyone has the Smart Elephant version and it contains the instructions and pouch, please post in the comments.

As for the game itself, I think it's great. It's sort of a mix between Scrabble and Uno, where you have 6 sets of shapes and 6 sets of colors (36 total unique tiles x 3 of each tile = 108 total tiles). When you place a tile, it has to match *either* the shape *or* the color of the set of all adjacent tiles.

You score a point for each tile in any set(s) you create/extend (similar to scoring in Scrabble), plus a bonus 6 tiles for any sets (of 6 colors or shapes) you complete. The set you're creating/extending cannot contain two of the same shape (for a color set) or two of the same color (for a shape set) -- each set has to be made up of 6 or less unique tiles of the same color or shape.

Regarding age, the game is rated for six and up, though it could probably be played by an even younger audience. Of course, younger players may not be able to use strategy to the same level older players can, but most will still be able to have a good time. Our six-year-old actually was able to pull off some pretty clever moves against us (beating the three of us in the end), but at other times, he struggles.

The other thing to take into account is the level of patience some younger players may need while everyone else is trying to figure out their move. It may make sense to play less strategically in the interest of speed to keep their interest. This may be the biggest issue for us, and depending on the mood, a more fast-paced game may be more appropriate.

Regarding quality, the tiles (in the edition as of this writing) are painted wood. We haven't played enough to determine if they will eventually wear, but they seem of good enough quality. The pouch (assuming you get one!) can be used to store the tiles when not being used, as well as being used to draw from during play.

Excellent quality tiles and bag, not well thought out box,

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

The tiles are excellent quality. The bag is excellent quality. The game is simple and easy to play. So why am I giving this 4 stars? Because the design of the Box is not well-thought-out. Original packaging have all the tiles shrink wrapped. They fit tightly in the box with the bag and instructions compressed under them.

I soon realized there was a design flaw in the box. After the game is opened, the box is useless. There is a hole in the top of the box so you can see the tiles. However there is no plastic guard to prevent tiles from falling out and you can't close the bagin the box. See included pictures,

So I have to keep the instructions in the bag and thow away the box. It is a shame, but at least the bag and tiles are well constructed.

A decline in quality but still a great game

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Let me preface this review by saying that I love the game itself, the mechanics of how the game plays. I have been playing Qwirkle with my family for a long time now. I decided to purchase another copy in the hopes that I can combine two sets, in order to play games with more than 4 players (I have played games with one set and 5 players but, it doesn't work very well in terms of the flow of the game and total number of tiles split 5 ways). The tiles in my old qwirkle set are well made, the bag that is provided to put the tiles in feels high quality and they've held up well in the time that I've had it. Okay, with that preface out of the way I will share my gripes with this latest set.

It seems like with this latest version there has been a change in the manufacturing process for this game. First of all, the bag that is provided for the tiles now sports a logo on it and feels like a cheap, thin material as opposed to the previous quality bag which was thick and logo free. As you will see from my pictures there are several dissapointing aspects to these tiles. I hope for everyone else's sake that this is a anomaly and that in general other sets have no issues with their tiles; I can only share my experience, unfortunately.

I've numbered some issues I've had which the pictures illustrate.
1. The paint on the front of many tiles is chipped, to varying degrees of depth and number of chips, illustrated on the two green tiles shown in the pictures.
2. The paint on the tiles is thin. You can see the black tile through the paint, illustrated by the yellow tile in the pictures.
3. The centering of the printing or painting is off on some of the tiles. In the purple tile picture you can see that the edge of the shape is almost off the front face of the tile, going down the side.
4. Several of the tiles are dented to some degree, some are even damaged to the extent of exposing unpainted wood underneath.

I'll end this review on a positive note:
1. The bag is bigger. My old version has a bag that is barely big enough to hold all of the tiles. This new bag better holds the tiles, with more room to allow for rummaging through the tiles to ensure a random tile is picked.
2. There's no hole in the front of the box. The old box has/had a hole in the front of the box which displayed the wooden tiles. This new version has no hole which is much more pleasing.

Overall the gameplay itself is fantastic. It's a great gateway game and it's easy to learn but there's a lot of depth to it once you get into it. I just hope that nobody else receives such poor tiles as I have in this latest set.

Good choice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

I read lots of reviews before buying this at Christmas, very pleased with choice.
Perfect for reluctant reader but competitive foster kids and partially sighted husband, we can all play this. It's a mixture of scrabble and dominos(ish). Be careful if you look for a"how to play"clip on you-tube, the one we found was very good, but wasn't suitable for the children to listen to!!
Didn't really work well with two players. As a guide, 2 adults and 3 children, we reckon 1 hour for a game, the scores usually are quite close so there's never a winner with a ridiculous number of points.
No breakable pieces (which is very important in this house). I recommend this (the kids are between 6 and 10)

Great, fun game.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a modern classic. The starting premise is quite simple, you can match colour or shape, not both. You may not repeat a colour if you are matching colours, and you cannot repeat a shape if you are matching shapes. You can form strings of up to 6 tiles and not more, since you have exactly 6 shapes in 6 possible colours. This game grows with you, it has elements of strategy as well as elements of luck and it is easy to teach and get down to playing. I highly recommend it for family gatherings or the occasional "games nights" with friends as it does not take all that long to play and everyone will get right down to playing it in no time.

Fantastic game for mixed age group

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

Introduced to this game by a family member. It was an instant hit as a family game, especially if you have a mixed aged group as we do. The game itself is well made. The tiles are a good size & weight and look durable. The canvas bag is also well made, not a cheap fabric. The box feels sturdy & strong. Once you play a couple of games you realise that you can play strategically but at the same time you get your tiles randomly so there is a lot of luck of the draw and chance depending on who else lays what. Had a couple of super fast games and managed more longer ones. Great fun for all.

Classic game

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

Yes it’s a great game for all ages, especially if you like scrabble type placing of tiles.

My only gripe is the build quality. The tiles are painted black then the shapes are painted on top. As a result the colours are not as vivid as they could be. Orange and red are quite similar unless you have good lighting and/or eyesight.

A major omission is tile racks. When the tiles are placed vertically and it is hard to see the colours in low lighting or if you have poor eyesight. I made my own and it helped tremendously. At a pinch you can use scrabble tile holders but they are slightly too small.
