This playing Matt has excellent artwork, and is definitely larger than I expected. Great addition to a great game.

The abstract game of Qwirkle consists of 108 wooden blocks with six different shapes in six different colors. There is no board, players simply use an available flat surface.
Players begin the game with six blocks. The start player places blocks of a single matching attribute (color or shape but not both) on the table. Thereafter, a player adds blocks adjacent to at least one previously played block. The blocks must all be played in a line and match, without duplicates, either the color or shape of the previous block.
Players score one point for each block played plus all blocks adjacent. It is possible for a block to score in more than one direction. If a player completes a line containing all six shapes or colors, an additional six points are scored. The player then refills his hand to six blocks.
The game ends when the draw bag is depleted and one player plays all of his remaining blocks, earning a six point bonus. The player with the high score wins.
In this game you are trying to match symbols or colours in a crossword style to earn points. That is really it, it is very simple and an easy game.
This is an easy game to learn and is great for the whole family. The blocks are made well and the colours and shapes are nice to look at. A fun game that you'll play many times. There is also a smaller travel version that is nice to have for trips.
Qwirkle has often been referred to as scrabble without letters, and this is accurate. The best part of Qwirkle is that it doesn't depend on your knowledge of obscure dictionary words and instead a light about of counting and a lot of strategy and planning, at least in 3+ player groups. I'd avoid playing this 2 player as some of the planning and strategy is lost.
