Mindware | Qwirkle: Travel Edition | Miniature Game | Ages 6+ | 2-4 Players | 45 Minutes Playing Time

Daughter bought full size game in first lockdown and we quickly got addicted. Easy to learn and play but with a competitive edge as you try and guess who has certain tiles and hold own back to secure a double line and maximum points. She took it to uni so i bought travel version as cheaper but actually prefer as can take anywhere as so compact, about size of a book. All the tiles are made of wood which is lovely in this age when we try get away from plastics and feels like quality. The travel version doesnt have the stands to hold your tiles in but we just stand them in a semi circle to hide from other players and works well. This travel version is better too as can play in a smaller space - full size tiles need a dining table size space to play as spreads wide, this version can work on a coffee table well.

Brilliant Game. Quick and easy to learn

Easy game to play but challenging to win This travel version is light with a soft pouch that packs away easily. No racks for the individual players so only 4 stars.

I have worn out 2 sets of Quirkle. Only because we have played so much the paint eventually rubs off. I think a each set has lasted 7 years. We mix the new set up before turning over the pieces now a days. The travel set is good because it takes up less room. A good game for 2 players. I am sure this game can be played by at lots of levels. My partner though is very competitive and has strategies to beat me , 3 times out of 4. I am getting better. 1. Know which pieces to save. This means keeping an eye on what pieces are yet to show up, what Quirkles have yet to be made or any other types of point scoring moves available. 2. Really study the board for moves. 3. Don't be too quick to block off potential Quirkles. 4. Most importantly, sort out your end-game, be the first to get rid of your pieces. On a more basic level its a nice way to spend time off screens making shapes patterns and points

Bought this game on the basis of reviews. It is a great game. We love it. Tiles are pleasingly environmental (made of wood)and it comes in a lovely little travel pouch. The game itself is easy enough to learn but there are layers of play to it that gradually build the more you play. I would recommend. You don’t need language to play this so it’s international. You do need a little notebook and pen/pencil. It would have been nice to have tile racks as the tiles would then tilt back slightly allowing you to see colours clearly. However it doesn’t spoil the game. We have growing grandchildren and I think this game will also be easily accessible to them once they are of an age.

First Class game, great fun.

Quite big enough - easy for my 6 year old to take to.

Great game! Easy family game to play and doesn't take too long to finish. After reading other reviews I went for the travel version over the standard board game. This was a good decision as it is apparently identical to the full size version - just with smaller blocks - which means it can be played on a smaller surface and will also be able to come on family holidays! The only slight issue I've found is that in artificial lighting i.e. indoors at night, it is hard to distinguish between the red and the orange tiles as they look very similar shades. Not as bad in daylight.!

Meine Frau und ich haben bereits das 2. Spiel in der Mache, weil der Lack auf dem ersten bereits sehr verblasst und teilw. abgeblättert ist. Da sind wir bereits beim ersten Kritikpunkt: die Farbe blättert ab, vielleicht gäbe es ja einen besseren Lack, aber immer noch besser als Plastikspielsteine. Der 2. Kritikpunkt bezieht sich auf die Qualität des Beutels, in den man im Spielverlauf immer wieder hinein greift. Die Nähte lösen sich nach kurzer Zeit auf. Das ginge definitiv besser. Das ist für mich aber noch kein Grund zur Abwertung, weil die Grundidee einfach zu gut ist. Dieses Spiel von uns seit fast 2 Jahren täglich gespielt und erfüllt alle unsere Bedürfnisse an ein Spiel: Easy to learn, hard to master. Es hat einen Zufallsmoment. Es dauert ca. 40 min. und es entsteht immer nebenbei ein schönes Muster. Ich spiele es am Liebsten zu zweit. Zu viert z. B. ist mir Doppelkopf lieber.

Facile d’utilisation, pour les enfants comme pour les adultes

Great game for all ages, this Quirkle game is small enough to fit into carryon luggage, though small the tiles are easy to see.

Questa versione da viaggio è comoda e portatile. Rispetto alla versione con le carte è dotato di una custodia in tessuto davvero ben fatta. Le tesserine sono di legno, leggere e trasportabili. Il gioco è divertente e adatto per un momento tranquillo. Non è un gioco che crea confusione o un party game da fare con tante persone.

Atencion, las instrucciones vienen en inglés. Muy entretenido. Jugamos niños a partir de 6 años y adultos. Nos encanta. De momento jugamos sin puntos y con las fichas destapadas y, aún así, nos resulta muy entretenido. Muy bueno el estuche de viaje (bolsa de tela acolchada), mejor que otros formatos de juegos de viaje en cajas de cartón o metal: - Dura más: no se dobla, ni se parte ni se abolla - Se adapta mejor a bolsas y maletas
