Qwirkle Travel

Waterstones Game of the Month for September 2024

Qwirkle is MindWare’s must-have game and it is easy to see why! Simple to learn, yet strategic and exciting to play, Qwirkle is a favourite of all ages. For on the go gaming, try Qwirkle Travel.

All your Qwirkle needs, but easier to pack! It’s the same brilliant game, now travel sized. Aim for a complete set of 6 to score a Qwirkle!

What’s in the box?

108 tiles
A drawbag

How to play:

On your turn, you complete three actions:
1. Place one or more tiles.
You may play multiple tiles on your turn as long as all tiles played are the same colour or the same shape and are placed in the same line. You cannot play two tiles that are exactly the same.

2. Tally your score.
One point is scored for each tile in a line that you create or add to. A single tile can score two points if it is part of two lines. Whenever you complete a line of all 6 colours or shapes, this is a Qwirkle! A Qwirkle scores 12 points, six for the tiles in the lines and six bonus points.

3. Draw tiles from the bag to replenish your hand to six.

When there are no more tiles to draw, play continues as before, but players do not replenish their hands. The first player to run out of tiles scores six bonus points and ends the game. The player with the highest score wins!

Bonus!

Qwirkle Travel reinforces problem solving and strategic thinking.

It comes in a handy travel bag for on the go gaming.
