2-4 Players 30 minutes Age 6+ Designed by Susan McKinley Ross Qwirkle is as simple as matching colors and shapes, but this game also requires tactical maneuvers and well-planned strategy. Earn points by building rows and columns of blocks that share a common shape or color. Look for opportunities to score big by placing a tile that touches multiple pieces with matching attributes. The player with the most points wins! 108 wooden blocks. CG says: Sort of like Scrabble or a crossword with colours and patterns.  Players place tiles down to score points but must also ensure they don't setup other players with a chance to advance their position.  Challenging yet very simple to learn and to teach.
