In case of a tie, the eldest player takes the priority. The first player must play those tiles to start the board as their first turn.

Each turn builds off the first line put down by the first player, eventually turning the gaming surface into a sprawling network of colors and shapes.

Every player, on their turn, is able to place 1 or more tiles on the table. In order to add to existing lines on the table, you have to be able to match either the color or the shape of the other tiles in that line without duplicating one of the tiles.

Making lines is how you score points! A tile can, and often will, be in multiple lines for a single play. This is the best way to maximize your points, since those lines add up for your point total that turn!

The most tiles any line can have are 6 since there are only 6 of each color and 6 of each shape in the game. Konix Snakebyte.

Standard 6 shapes and 6 colors. Advanced 7 shapes and 7 colors. Standard Board. I would say it's somewhat of a cross between Scrabble and Uno.

It's very easy to understand and after the first few rounds everyone is completely absorbed by it. It is easy enough that kids can play it, but when playing with adults it can get very competitive.

I bought one for myself and another for my in-laws. At first they thought it was a fun little game but as time progressed my mother-in-law got seriously into the game and is now really obsessed with it haha more so obsessed with winning.

I definitely recommend it! See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. 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. 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.

The paint on the tiles is thin. You can see the black tile through the paint, illustrated by the yellow tile in the pictures.

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.

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.

There's no hole in the front of the box. 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. Images in this review. 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 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.

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 canvas bag is also well made, not a cheap fabric. 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. 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.
