Qwirkle

Another abstract game, Qwirkle is what I like to refer to as color Scrabble. Each player has a hand of 6 tiles with colors and shapes. They’ll be placing these tiles on the board trying to line up six tiles that either have six shapes of one color, or six colors of one shape. If they do, they’ll score a Qwirkle for extra points. Otherwise, they earn points based on how many tiles they could lay. It’s a bit of back and forth with when to play and when to wait that has a real good puzzle and thinking aspect to it, but still light enough that it’s not impossible for kids to play.
