My family and I often meet at family gatherings and play games.  While we tend to try lots of new games, only a few of them have earned a place on our 'permanent game shelf'.  Qwirkle quickly became one of our favorite games because it is easy to learn, easy to play....yet challenging because every game is different.  My husband and I purchased multiple copies of this game to be given to several family units at our upcoming family reunion.  I'm sure we will have a fun and boisterous "Qwirkle Tournament" involving all ages (4-99)!!!  Even our youngest grandchildren (ages 4-9) quickly mastered basic moves and picked up 'higher strategy' thinking.....it's hard to find a game that is easy enough for the youngsters, yet appeals to adults, too!!
