I love board games. Qwirkle is sort of a mix between dominoes, scrabble, othello, and any number of match-up games (think uno). What's great about it is that even with deceptively simple looks (match colors or shapes, 6 of each), the game gets really complex, really fast. Playing with a group is a lot of fun, because even when you have good moves, you're not trying to give away the elusive Qwirkle (a line of 6), worth 12 points. It's a great family game because of the relatively simple rules, and scoring isn't too complicated, but you definitely need to bring some addition skills! Overall, a great game to bring out at family gatherings and with friends.
