About this deal

Scoring in Qwirkle is straightforward enough. You score one point per tile in a line. If you create multiple lines with your placement, you will score one point per tile in each line. In the image you can see three orange tiles added to form two ‘lines’. The first line with the three orange shapes scores three points, but since a second line has been created ie a line of two circles, the player also scores additional two points and yes the orange circle scores twice! So the total for that placement of orange tiles is five points. It is not unusual for a player to score between four and eight points on most turns. Play continues until one person uses all of their available tiles and there are no more tiles to be drawn. The game is played with two to four players. Each player starts with a ‘hand’ of six tiles. These are the lovely, chunky wooden tiles you get with different coloured shapes on one side. There are six different colours and six different shapes. Qwirkle is a game I’ve played countless times. It is always a favourite to fill in some time and despite being an easy game to learn and play, it comes with depth and plenty of room for strategic play. The Basics Remember: Trading tiles is your action for that turn, so you can’t do any tile placing and scoring that turn.

This isn’t a rule, but letting your opponents see what you are discarding is more information than you should want to offer up.It is simple to teach the basics and demonstrate examples of valid moves. It is simple enough for children to learn with the age recommendation being 6+. It is a great filler, ie a game you can easily play within an hour even with teaching the rules. The game is very re-playable, every game will be different because of combinations of tiles you draw and how the ‘board’ layout grows. Player interaction is there most turns because ideally you are always balancing what you can score now, what you might be able to score later and what opportunities your opponents might have by your placement. Qwirkle ! If at any time a player places or completes a line of six tiles, (remember all same colour OR all same shape), in addition to scoring six points for the six tiles, you get a bonus six points for completing a Qwirkle ! And this is in addition to whatever you score for any additional lines you add to. Honestly, if you want to do a little dance at this point or stretch your arms like a gladiator go right ahead, whatever works, just remember your opponents may reciprocate in like manner if they make a Qwirkle . It is possible to place six tiles to form one Qwirkle whilst adding to a line of five to form a second. When you score a Qwirkle, score the lines you played that turn as usual. On top of that total, matching the full 6 tiles scores you 6 bonus points.

To trade, put the tiles you want to get rid of face-down on the table. Draw an equal number of tiles from the bag and add them to your hand. Strategy Game: Qwirkle is the perfect game to hone player's tactical maneuvers, strategical planning, and forward thinking. This family game features a massive amount of choices, including 3 tiles each of 36 possible color-symbol combinations Even when building off a different line on the grid, if any tiles in your attempted play would be touching a non-matching tile you can’t make that play.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). This is most of what you’ll be doing in a game of Qwirkle. 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. In the image, imagine a yellow starburst at the top or bottom end of the starburst row, then the player placing the line of orange tiles had the full set of shapes, this orange line could be added so that the orange starburst joined one end of the starburst line. Two square tiles played at [G5] and [G6]. Player scores four points for continuing the existing square line [D5:G5] and two points for the second square line [G5:G6]. When you either don’t have a legal play in your hand, or if you just want to clean house a little, you can choose to trade any number of tiles in your hand for new ones from the bag.

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! Once hands are dealt, have everybody count up how many of their tiles share either a shape or a color. The object of the game is to score more points than your opponents before the game ends. To score these points, you must match and place tiles from your hand on the board in lines with other tiles of the same shape or color. a b c d e " Qwirkle: Mix, Match, Score and Win!" (PDF). Mindware at Oriental Trading . Retrieved 22 February 2023. Two 8-point star tiles played at [A1] and [B1]. Player scores three points for the 8pt star line [A1:C1].Three red tiles are played in a single line [D2]-[D3]-[D4] to start the game. Player scores three points for the red line [D2:D4].

Two green tiles played at [C2] and [C3]. Player scores two points for the green line [C2:C3], two points for the clover line [C2:D2], and two points for the diamond line [C3:D3]. On your turn you must play at least one card. You can start a new set, add to an existing set, or switch cards to make new sets. To add to an existing set, the cards you add must have the same attribute as all the cards in the existing set, and there cannot be duplicates. To switch cards around, add your card or cards to the play area and then rearrange, combining cards that are already in the play area with the cards you played. If you make a Qwirkle, take it out of the play area. This gives a player a big point boost, so be careful about possibly setting your opponents up to get a Qwirkle when making your play! After the initial draw, each player rolls the six dice they had selected to form their hand, which is kept visible to the other players. As in Qwirkle, players may place one or more dice into the playing field during their turn; if they do not have a piece that can be played, they must re-roll all of their dice until they can place at least one die. At the end of their turn, the player draws replacement dice and rolls the replacement dice (not the leftover dice already in the player's hand) before absorbing the replacement dice into their six-dice hand. [6] Qwirkle Cards [ edit ] When the tiles run out you will know the game will shortly be ending. The game will end when one player uses their last tile. When a player does this, they also score a bonus of six points for finishing first. StrategyOne red 8pt star tile played at [D1]. Player scores four points for the 8pt star line [A1:D1] and five points for the red line [D1:D5]. Easy to learn: An engaging game with easy to follow rules, Qwirkle is great for younger players while still challenging them mentally. Simply build lines by matching tiles based on either color or shape, and score points as you go
