Qwirkle is a simple yet surprisingly strategic game where players lay down colourful tiles to build lines based on either shape or colour. With bold, chunky pieces and no reading needed, it's perfect for all ages – but don’t let the simplicity fool you. There’s loads of room for clever moves, blocking, and planning ahead. It's one of those games that's just as fun the first time as it is the fiftieth, whether you’re playing with kids or competitive adults.
How to Play
Each player starts with a hand of six tiles, made up of different shapes and colours. On your turn, you place one or more tiles in a line where they all share either the same colour or the same shape – but no duplicates are allowed. You score points based on how many tiles are in the lines you add to. Complete a full set of six and you'll score a ‘Qwirkle’ – a big bonus that can swing the game in your favour. Once the bag runs out and someone places their last tile, the game ends, and the highest score wins.
