MindWare Qwirkle Board Game...

This is a great game for all ages, its easy to learn, really rather simple, and fun to play. This game is made of high quality game tiles and storage/ playing bag. Easy to take anywhere. When we play with first time players, we always play tiles face up and help each other to find places to play. It can be quite strategic and can be as complex as the players choose to make it. We have advanced elderly, a down syndrome, 20 somethings as well as mid-agers, we all like to play!

Really I'd give this 4 1/2 stars -- if they changed just a couple of things I mention at the bottom, it would have 5. Good game to get the neurons working. It has quality tiles with bright colors. The game is fairly easy to learn, and it's appropriate for a number of ages. I got this to encourage my elderly parents to keep their minds active. Turns out it's a bit challenging for my dad to do on his own -- I think we will probably never play with our tiles hidden, which is the typical way, since he needs help finding the best moves. But that's ok -- we're not doing it to see who can win. I can see having a lot of fun with this as a family or with a bunch of high school or college kids where people could get really competitive -- or even a group of adults getting together. You can get some real strategy going. Things that would make it better: Add tile holders like Scrabble has so people can see their tiles easily without other people seeing them. Make the diamond shaped tiles more clearly diamond shaped rather than just squares on their sides -- they look too much like the squares Still recommend. Fun game.

I got this for my friend's kids (ages 4, 6, and 9) and we all loved it. The 6 year old and I learned to play it together - she read me the directions (simple to read and understand) and she did an excellent job teaching it to the other kids. The 4 year old didn't quite understand the "strategy" element to it, but had fun nonetheless. Great group game! Can last a while, so you'll pass a good amount of time. And the kids had fun keeping score. Great find - can't wait to play it again.

The grandparents have had Qwirkle in their home for many years, and we play it when we visit. While it is fun and requires some thought and strategy, it is a game for many ages. The grandparents came to visit us and we did not have Qwirkle. ZeeBooth had it to us overnight and we were able to play the game they truly love. The game can easily travel as all of the game pieces are contained in a medium sized draw string bag. This version of the game does come with letter trays that will not fit in the draw string bag. However, the game can easily be played without them.

Can't say enough about this game. We enjoy this game very much. We are 70. We also have played it with our grandchildren ages 7 and 10 and also bought a game for our adult children. There is strategy, so it makes you think. There are not too many rules. Fun and fairly quick, maybe an hour of playing. We don't have an issue seeing the colors as mentioned in one of the reviews, except if it is really sunny or dark. This company is the best to work with, as getting a replacement piece and a replacement bag was painless. I would highly recommend this game for all ages, for quick fun, for keeping you sharp and challenged. Easy to travel with, as could just take the bag with tiles and the rule book. Fun, Fun, Fun...
