Qwirkle




Distributed exclusively in Canada for Mindware™ by Outset Media Corp.
Combining well-thought strategy with quick-thinking challenges, Qwirkle is played by creating rows and columns of matching colors and shapes; since the simple play requires no reading, the whole gang can connect shapes and colors, making the strategic multiple-tile moves that earn maximum points. 108 wood blocks. At the end of June, 2011, Qwirkle was awarded the Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) in Germany. The award was founded in 1978 with the stated purpose of rewarding excellence in board and card game design and promoting top-quality games in the German market. It is considered to be one of the world’s most prestigious game awards. The criteria on which a game is evaluated include game concept (originality, playability, game value); rule structure (composition, clearness, comprehensibility); layout (box, board, rules) and design (functionality, workmanship.)
