We purchased this for a family member that enjoys playing it so much at our house. We purchased this game several years back after playing at a friend's house. My grandkids love it and so do adults. It's simple to learn. We use the racks that holds alphabet tiles from our Upwords game which makes it nicer to hold the blocks from this game. Not necessary, but makes it nice. We purchased additional racks off of Ebay. This game comes with a nice canvas bag that holds all the blocks. Can't go wrong. Kudos to whoever came up with the game.

The instructions are 'vague' at some points and you have to assume certain things by the pictures as they are not spelled out. The slippery tiles do not stay in place or have spacers so they constantly shift and can easily be knocked around at any careless bump. They may have sold 2 million, but the novelty is worth way more than the actual product itself as it is a logistical mess of a game. Not recommended, so please play dominos instead because THIS is the lightweight fluffy version of that and dominos is thoroughly explainable without the lackluster instructions and featherweight pieces.

Good for all ages, although purchased this for 91 year old mother who likes to work on jigsaw puzzles, play dominos and chinese checkers. I wanted something different that we could adapt to her needs. Like new, with all the pieces, which are large, colorful and easy to handle. Worked out great.

Qwirkle is a fun game that is easy to learn and play. You can match color or shape, but all the colors or shapes in that run must be different. It is easy to play, but offers lots of challenging strategy to work out. "A minute to learn, a lifetime to master" was originally written about Mastermind, and it applies to Qwirkle as well. The tiles are painted lightweight wood and very easy to handle (about 30mm square and 10mm thick.) The colors and shapes are tons easier to see than normal playing cards.

This game is all strategy! I've played it several times with my grand kids, and my granddaughter always wins. Well, Nana bought her own game to practice with friends and family. And we are all enjoying it! The tiles are well constructed of wood, smoothly painted with glossy black paint so the different shapes and colors show up easily. Scoring takes a little getting used to, but the premise to win is simple!

The game was brand new, sealed, in the original box. As to playing the game, it is simple to learn but still fun to play, good for adults and children. Like dominoes, it works well even for pre-readers. Part of the charm of this game is that it is such a fun and interesting game even though it is so simple.

This is a great game for kids and adults alike. It's a tactile pleasure to play with the colorful wood pieces. Challenging enough to keep adults interested, and easy enough for elementary-age kids to play (and even beat the grown-ups)! I'd call this a sort of Scrabble using colors and symbols instead of words, and doesn't bore me like Scrabble can.

I bought two tiles to replace the ones my kids lost. With the combined shipping, I now have a complete Quirkle set again for just a few bucks! Much better than buying a new game.

I played with 11 and 6 year old children, they learned quickly and the 6 year old got scores over 100. They did not get bored.

The product arrived in great condition. The tiles are nice and heavy. This is the reason that I sought out an older version of the game in EBay. The current editions being sold by retailers, have tiles that are at least 1/3 thinner. This games is so addictive. Such an entertaining game. I highly recommend it to people of all ages.
