MindWare: Qwirkle Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I love giving my children games and toys that will help facilitate learning along with their fun!  MindWare is a great online store to purchase lots of great learning toys and games for your kids!  We received their exclusive and most awarded game Qwirkle to review and my family had a blast playing it!  Qwirkle is a game that consists of lots of tiles with different shapes of different colors on them.  The object of the game is to score the most points by strategically placing tiles next to the same color or shape.  This can be pretty challenging!  We tried playing it with Sam.  He's only 3, well below the recommended age of 6 and up.  Bella was great at it though!  She got the hang of it really quickly.  Sam thought it was cool to build rows with the tiles after we were done playing.  He'll get the hang of it on a couple more years!  This was a really fun game and we plan on playing it again at our next family game night.


More About Qwirkle:

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. 2 to 4 players.

Recommended Ages:
Ages 6 and up

You can purchase Qwirkle at MindWare for only $24.95!
