Unlike a lot of games I've gotten for my daughter, Qwirkle was one I was not familiar with from having playing it as a child. Not sure if it was around back then, or if it's just a modern version of a classic concept (like dominoes perhaps?). All I know is that I love playing it and so does my almost-six year old daughter. And the cool thing is we can each play at our own level and still play together. I don't have to "dumb down" my playing at all. And she never has to feel like I'm letting her win. Her moves have surprised and challenged me just as often as the other way around. Not many games like that, are there? Highly recommend.
