"Qwirkle" (do not choke while saying it out loud) is therefore related to dominoes even if the diehards will argue that here, the pieces have only one datum. The game is made up of pieces of six shapes and six different colors, i.e. 36 pieces, all present in triplicate for a total of 108 pieces. As with dominoes, the principle could not be simpler. You must place a piece after another, provided it has a common shape or color. As in "Genial", the player then scores as many points as there are now in the completed line.

Well, there are still some constraints. It is not possible to put a green square in a line where there is already another green square (and same thing for the colors). A line cannot therefore be more than six pieces long. On the other hand, it is entirely possible for the same piece to fit into two different lines (and there, inevitably, one of the two lines must be considered as a column…) to score all the more points. It is even possible to place several pieces in turn, provided they are placed in the same line (or column if you have followed...). Oh yes ! in front of him, a player always has six pieces. It's up to him to know how to keep some from one round to the next, or not.

By making a Qwirkle (ah yes, finally, one day, it may be a day in the dictionary), ie a line of six pieces, a player obtains a bonus of six points. The goal is of course to be the one with the most points at the end of the game.
