PLAYED FOR YOU

Qwirkle Erweiterung 1

Select and/or Connect

You form and expand rows of the same color or the same shape to achieve the highest score. You draw six tiles at the start. In your turn you can then add one or more tiles to a row and draw new tiles or swap 1-6 tiles for new ones. In rows of each color each shape can be present only one, and in rows of identical shapes each color may appear only once. Newly placed tiles must be in contact with already placed tiles, but not necessarily with each other. You score for each tile in each row that you extend or form. The expansions are played using the basic rules of Qwirkle with some additions:

For Qwirkle Select you use the blue side of all board pieces, the board is equipped with star discs; then you place tiles as usual; if you cover star spots you take the star disc and can use such a disc later in the game to remove a tile from the board, but not out of a Qwirkle and you can use only one disc per turn. Gaps that ensue using a disc are of no moment and can be filled again later.

 Qwirkle Connect is played on the green side of the board, which is again assembled as you like. At the start you place randomly drawn tiles on the black spots of the board. When you place tiles on numbered spots you earn bonuses, but only once, even if the tile should extend two rows!

Those expansions can also be combined, you choose any side of each of the four boards. Bonus spots that you free by removing a tile can be filled again to earn the bonus.

In this version, too, Qwirkle stays the same – a fantastic, fast game for all the family, a new game with every game, challenging and abstract pure fun to play!
