Qwirkle is an engaging abstract game featuring 108 wooden blocks in six distinct shapes and six different colors. There's no need for a board; just use any flat surface. Each player starts with six blocks. The first player places blocks sharing a single matching feature (either color or shape) on the table. Then, players add blocks next to at least one previously played block. All blocks must be placed in a line and match, without duplicates, either the color or shape of the previous block. You score one point for each block you play and all adjacent blocks. A block can score in multiple directions. Score an extra six points if you complete a line with all six shapes or colors. After each turn, refill your hand to six blocks. The game ends when the draw bag is empty and a player uses all remaining blocks, getting a six - point bonus. The player with the highest score wins.
How to play Qwirkle: First, gather your friends and find a flat surface. Each player starts with six blocks. The starting player puts down blocks that match either in color or shape on the table. Then, other players add blocks next to the existing ones, making sure they are in a line and match either the color or shape of the previous block without repeating. You score points for each block you play and the adjacent ones. If you manage to complete a line with all six shapes or colors, you get an extra six points. After each turn, refill your hand to six blocks. Keep playing until the draw bag is empty and one player uses all their remaining blocks. That player gets a six - point bonus. The one with the highest score at the end wins. Note: Make sure to place the blocks carefully so you can easily tell which ones are adjacent. When refilling your hand, count the blocks to ensure you have six. To maintain your Qwirkle set, keep the wooden blocks away from water to prevent damage. Wipe them gently with a dry cloth if they get dirty.
