MindWare Qwirkle Color Blind Friendly Family Game Game for Kids and Adults - Fun Family Game Night Game for Concentration and Visual-Thinking Skills - Ages 6+

My hubby and I learned about this game from a fellow camper at the campground. This is a fun game that can be played competitively, cooperatively, with each player against each other, with a partner, with scoring, or not. It's like a puzzle combined with dominoes and Sudoku-like problem-solving. I like that elementary students up to adults can play. It takes longer to play for beginners, but folks who've played awhile can get through a game in 20 minutes. I think a timer could be set, and whoever gets the most points in that amount of time could be determined the winner. Or, as a counselor, I could play with a young client and we could work cooperatively to get the most points possible in 15 minutes and keep trying to beat the score each session. This game teaches focus, strategy, thinking ahead (impulse control), and can be used, like any game, to reinforce good sportsmanship--complimenting players on their choices, congratulating the competition on making high-scoring plays. The game also reinforces math (if you keep score), and could be played with earned tokens instead of points.The tiles come in a box, but there's a bag to use while the game is happening. I think it's too much of a pain to put the tiles back in the box--so it would be best just to store the game in the bag. It might be a good idea to laminate the directions so they don't get torn up if stored in the bag.This game would be a great gift for a family.

Love everything about this game!!! Except... I got the original regular version and you can't tell the difference between the reds and the oranges sufficiently. I ended up painting an orange dot on the orange tiles. SOOO when buying as a gift, I got this color-blind version instead & it was a good move - all colors are easy to differentiate.

Fun game for the family. Enjoyed playing with my 5 year old grandson as well as my 93 year old father. Vibrant tiles easy to handle.

This is our go-to game! So much fun and easy to play! My husband and I play several times a week. The grandkids love it too!

Love the additional marks for color blind, but very disappointed that it did not come with the frames to hold the game pieces. Next time I’d buy the regular version and make my own markings.

This is a great family game. We play with my grandkids ages 8 and 10. Fun to play:Helps sharpen thinking skills.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We played this game with our cousins….immediately ordered our own game!

Great game! Adults to small kids can play together.
