Qwirkle
Match colors, match shapes, and watch your opponent steal your six-tile line.
What it is
Think dominoes with six colors and six shapes. Extend a line by color or by shape, never repeat a tile, and score big when you finish a line of six. Simple enough for six-year-olds, and they can beat you fair and square.
What we love
- The whole rule set fits in a couple of short paragraphs
- Chunky tiles feel good in the hand
- Setting up a six-tile line for yourself while blocking a rival is a real puzzle
Honest trade-offs
- Tile draws carry luck, so a dry bag can sink a careful player
- Players prone to long thinks can stall the table in the middle game
- The tile layout sprawls, so clear a big surface
