Ideal for: Ideal for families who love easy-to-understand games, that include elements of strategy. Great for families or couples on the move.
Mix, match, score and win! Qwirkle Travel is a must-have for your next family Holiday! The travel version of MindWare's bestseller is a simple game of matching colours and shapes requiring tactical manoeuvres, quick thinking and a well-planned strategy. Players of this addictive game score points by building rows and columns of brightly coloured tiles that are either all the same colour or all the same shape, without creating duplicates.
Look for opportunities to score big by placing a tile that touches multiple pieces with matching attributes; create a line of all six in a row, and you score a "Qwirkle". The player with the most points when the tiles run out wins!
