Great Strategy Game
November 7, 2014
By T.A. Fletcher
The first time I played this wonderful little game I had no idea what I was getting myself into…was pleasantly surprised to find a pretty unique game.
The game itself is relatively simple; a single playthrough should be enough for the average player to figure out the mechanics.
Essentially, each player collects resources, and builds roads and cities. The first player to 10 victory points wins, but every game is different as the board, and therefore the resources available to a particular player, changes every time you play.
All in all a great, entertaining game. I highly recommend it if you are into strategy games.
This reviewer likes that it is easy to learn…
Should have bought it sooner…

I ordered this after having played it once. My parents did the same.
The gameplay is novel, the game itself attractive, and the learning curve is low. It made an impression…

One of the best
November 12, 2014
By Sean Ramsey
One of my favorite board games.
I love the history, I love the gameplay, and most of all I love that you don’t spend a bunch of time waiting for other people to take their turns.
Having everyone take their turns at once is a fantastic game mechanic and when everyone’s familiar with the gameplay the game goes by super fast.
And this reviewer says it’s addictive…

Fun game. Easy to learn and teach new people
September 7, 2014
By John Hereford
Fun game. Easy to learn and teach new people.
Plenty of variety in gameplay by changing out which cards you use each game.
Also easy to play while half distracted with conversation (or watching young children).

…Unlike many games Qwirkle presents a number of diverse challenges to young minds, while at the same time being fun.

A fantastic game. Incidentally has very good educational properties for the young.

Qwirkle is a great way for all ages to play together
By Lauren A. Smart
June 11, 2008
…We’re able to play it with our 4 & 7 yr old which has been great.
…It relies on choices and thinking ahead similar to domino’s in my opinion. It’s been a good game for our family.

Swiping raises the difficulty, revert to classic mode if it frustrates you
October 23, 2014
By LegoGirl
Our family gatherings have adults and kids in a wide range of ages, so I thought this “new” Simon would be a fun way we could all play together.
… it was a great way to pass the time with a mixed group—once we reverted to using the classic (tap) mode exclusively.
…It’s a neat “upgrade” to the old tried-and-true Simon game, but there is a definite learning curve to using it.
This buyer says it keeps minds off video games…
Mind Swipe
October 15, 2014
By KCJ
Bought this for my 13 year old son who loves challenges. This really has him busy and keeps his mind off the video games at times…
And this reviewer says it still challenges memory…
This is a fun twist on the old Simon game
August 25, 2014
By B.L.
On the whole, this is a fun twist on the old Simon game.
It adds more complexity to keep things interesting, while still having the basic element of challenging your memory and ultimately never really giving you a shot at winning…
…I kind of like it as a memory training tool that pushes you to work your brain while still being designed to make the experience fun.

Quadrilla Vertigo
April 7, 2014
By Cindy Natale
This is everything a toy should be!
I love that it is sturdy and it makes my 4 and 5 year old girls think, problem solve and trouble shoot.
Already learning to check and see what direction the blocks are pointed when the marble goes the wrong way. They love to help me put the runs together and enjoy the finished product…
Best building/engineering toy our girls have.
This reviewer likes variety in building choices and also has a suggestion regarding a building surface…
Fun, creative and a crowd pleaser
December 25, 2013
…There are thousands of combinations to be made and the instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Would suggest a supporting hard surface under the construction as it can be a little tippy, especially for younger children…
And this reviewer is fan of wooden toys…
Educational Fun that will last for decades
October 24, 2013
By Candra C. Georgi “mommy of many”
I love wooden toys…stand the test of time and aggressive play, ha!
…the boys love to build all types of marble creations with them. This one has been a great addition…it is sturdy, colorful, and has different swirls and pieces that keep the boys building for hours.
It’s imagination & invention in one great product. It’s like legos & wooden blocks, but adding elevation and marbles!..

I got the awesome aunt award for this one!

By Justdar
The squeals of joy when my nephew opened this gift for his six birthday were music to my ears.
He assembled this with a little help from his daddy, another Lego boy.
Perfect for the Lego loving Ghostbuster in your life.
And this reviewer says it’s a challenge but has some helpful advice…
This was a challenge for him but he did it pretty much by himself
October 21, 2014
By Chris
My 8 year old son loves Ghostbusters.
This was a challenge for him but he did it pretty much by himself.
The pieces are not in numbered bags so it helps to open all the bags and sort the pieces by color

By Enchanted In Dixie “Enchanted”
Not only can you spend time with your child or children having fun, but you can learn together…
When finsihed you will feel so proud of yourself, and then the fun begins
…but this is a hard set that may require adult supervision, and if the adult helps then even 6 year olds can help.
And this reviewer likes that you’re not limited to just building a roller coaster…
Great Toy!!!
September 18, 2014
By guitfiddleblue “guitfiddleblue”
…This set took us about 2 1/2 hours to put together… It’s fun to watch the car move along the track, but the real fun in toys like K’nex..is the ability to tear it down and rebuild something TOTALLY different!…
This reviewer loved the challenge…
Just the Right Amount of “Challenging” …
September 12, 2014
By Dr. E
Sooo, we had this vision of setting up this roller-coaster in about the same amount of time as a Hot Wheels track.
Well, needless to say, not at all. This set requires skill and patience. Both of these are qualities that are well worth learning and instilling.
Therefore, while we had that pang of “Oh no. This looks like a project,” it turns out a “project” can be tremendous fun. (Of course!)…
