Recently viewed, grading system.

Every item in our inventory has been inspected, very strictly graded, and bagged for its protection.

Shrink Wrapped. Still in the original factory shrink wrap, with condition visible through shrink noted. For example, "SW (NM)" means shrink wrapped in near-mint condition.

Perfect. Brand new.

Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board & war games in this condition will show very little to no wear and are considered to be punched unless the condition note says unpunched.

Excellent. Lightly used, but almost like new. May show very small spine creases or slight corner wear. Absolutely no tears and no marks, a collectible condition.

Very Good. Used. May have medium-sized creases, corner dings, minor tears or scuff marks, small stains, etc. Complete and very useable.

Very well used, but complete and useable. May have flaws such as tears, pen marks or highlighting, large creases, stains, marks, etc.

  • Boxed items are listed as "code/code" where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition.
  • A "plus" sign indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition. Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition. A "minus" sign indicates the opposite.
  • Major defects and/or missing components are noted separately.
  • Boardgame counters are punched, unless noted. Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.
  • In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.
  • The cardboard backing of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "card worn."
  • Flat trays for SPI games are not graded, and have the usual problems. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "tray worn."
  • Remainder Mark - A remainder mark is usually a small black line or dot written with a felt tip pen or Sharpie on the top, bottom, side page edges and sometimes on the UPC symbol on the back of the book. Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.

What Makes Qwirkle A Great Travel Board Game?

We were introduced to Qwirkle some time ago as a filler game and we loved it. In fact, we loved it so much that our friends decided to gift us a traveler’s version of the larger game. Ever since then, Qwirkle has been our constant companion while the other travel board games get shuffled around.

We introduced the game to our toddlers and this game was a hit with them too. We did modify the rules though but that’s what we do with many of the travel games for toddlers.

While Qwirkle is largely because we love the game, we could also be a tiny bit biased when it comes to playing it because it was the first travel board game that we ever owned. Ours is a bit worn on the edges and for good reason. Thought I would take you through why it is so popular with us and our friends.

Table of Contents

Contents of the game and playing qwirkle.

qwirkle rules

Either six tiles of different shapes of the same colour or six tiles of different colours of the same shape make a qwirkle.

Qwirkle comes with a multitude of tiles or cubes. It depends on the version of the game you own. I strongly suggest using the travellers pack when on the go. It is so much easier to carry. These tiles can have one of six shapes or one of six colours.

Qwirkle Rules

The Qwirkle rules are actually very simple. The objective of the game is to join either six different shapes of the same colour together or to join six different colours of the same shape together. Qwirkle does not come with a board. The board is technically built up by the tiles that are placed. Each tile in the row that is formed by a player garners the player a point.

A ‘Qwirkle’ occurs when a player forms a row of six tiles of different shapes (and the same colour) or a row of six tiles of different colours (and the same shape). The player then gets a bonus of six points.

What Age Group Is Qwirkle For?

Qwirkle is for children aged 6 and up. This is because the rules can get pretty complicated with the addition of scores for younger children. Another reason why this rule is in place for the travel version is because the pieces could cause choking hazards.

We have played the game with our toddlers but removed the component of adding scores. All they had to do was match the tiles which was a big hit. If you do this with the travel version makes sure to keep an eye on the kids because the pieces are small! We literally watched them like hawks. Lol

Pros Of Qwirkle As A Travel Board Game

One thing that I like to do when I consider picking up any board game for a journey is to evaluate the pros and cons of taking it. So, I decided to put my thoughts down when it came to Qwirkle.

SIMPLICITY: Qwirkle is a simple game to master. The concepts are easy to explain which means that it can be introduced to new players very easily. So, it doesn’t matter if you are travelling with experienced board gamers or novices or if you want to play with a person you just met on your backpacking trip.

Keeping kids entertained isn’t always an easy task. While I may not have kids of my own, I’ve been a nurse for long enough to know that. The one thing that I realized when playing board games is that not all games are suited for kids of all ages. This is largely because of the complexity of the rules. Qwirkle however is easy to grasp and its simplicity makes it a great game to play even with kids!

In fact, my three year old has begun to start trying to play the game. That is how simple it is!

WEIGHT: One of the greatest advantages that Qwirkle has over numerous board games is its weight. It is light, easy to carry and it even comes in a traveller’s edition which is the one that we own. Qwirkle can easily be carried in one’s purse and since it comes in a nice little ouch with tiles, one doesn’t have to worry much about it getting damaged.

STRATEGY AND LUCK: Qwirkle relies on both luck and strategy. Your luck varies a lot depending on the tiles that you pull out of the bag. Strategy is what makes the game interesting because luck will take you only so far.

Cons Of Qwirkle As A Travel Board Game

Not every game is perfect, and one has to realise that there will always be certain downsides to a game. Weighing the pros against the cons is what makes picking the right travel board game so much easier.

SMALL PIECES: While it is the small pieces that make the game light and portable, it does carry a rather glaring disadvantage when it comes to small children and choking. In which case one may choose to buy the edition with the larger cubes.

SPACE REQUIRED TO PLAY: As a frequent traveller, I know that space is sometimes a luxury. Qwirkle requires a table to play on. As the game proceeds, it can occupy a rather sizable space. Hence it isn’t a game suited to be played on different modes of transportation.

YOU ALWAYS NEED A PEN AND PAPER: Okay not so much a con but it is my one pet peeve. You need a pen and paper (can’t recount the number of times we have used tissues as a substitute) to record the score.

Where To Buy Qwirkle?

q? encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B007BQBQIQ&Format= SL250 &ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=loberove 20

⭐️ Rating: 4.6/5 ( Reviews) Price: $18.95 Details: Read more on Amazon!

Like I have mentioned before, we live in India and getting board games is hard because of the cost involved in shipping and customs. Our access to buying board games is largely when we travel or someone else is travelling.

We do know that there are a couple of shops in South East Asia that sell games. Personally, we have bought them from Malaysia and Singapore.

The games do have a premium on them but not as much as the ones in India. Europe also does have its own market for board games which does not hold too big a premium.

USA still has the cheapest market and the reference that we use for costs is Amazon . I’ve included the link to Qwirkle above in case you do live in the USA and are interested in buying your own piece.

I would describe Qwirkle as a cross between dominoes, sudoku, and scrabble. It’s simple and easy to learn, but there’s a surprising amount of strategy involved. This travel set is small and portable, but because the smaller tiles don’t crowd a table as quickly, it’s also convenient for playing at home. Andrew ( read more reviews now! )

Mind you, Qwirkle is also easily available on Amazon across other markets. I have seen it sold in numerous board game stores in Europe too!

So, there you have it. All my thoughts about why Qwirkle makes a great travel board game and a couple of cons that the board game does present to travellers. I can’t wait to hear your opinions. Have you played Qwirkle? Do you like to travel with it?

  • Shipping details

This Travel Edition of Qwirkle has smaller wooden tiles- but the rules are exactly the same! The abstract game of Qwirkle consists of 108 wooden blocks with six different shapes in six different colors. There is no board - players simply use an available flat surface. Players begin the game with six blocks. The start player places blocks of a single matching attribute (color or shape but not both) on the table. Thereafter- a player adds blocks adjacent to at least one previously played block. The blocks must all be played in a line and match- without duplicates- either the color or shape of the previous block. Players score one point for each block played plus all blocks adjacent. It is possible for a block to score in more than one direction. If a player completes a line containing all six shapes or colors- an additional six points are scored. The player then refills his hand to six blocks. The game ends when the draw bag is depleted and one player plays all of his remaining blocks- earning a six point bonus. The player with the high score wins. - Description from Publisher AGES 6+ 2-4 PLAYERS
