Qwirkle

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The abstract game of Qwirkle consists of 108 wooden blocks with six different shapes in six different colours. There is no board; players simply use an available flat surface.

Players begin the game with six blocks. The starting player places blocks of a single matching attribute (colour 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 colour 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 colours, an additional six points are scored. The player then refills their hand to six blocks.

The game ends when the draw bag is depleted and one player plays all of their remaining blocks, earning a six-point bonus. The player with the highest score wins.
