I'd give a rating of 10 for the concept of the game but the colors are too difficult to see for elderly eyes, autistic eyes, color blind people etc. Why not gray colored tiles with 6 colors of different intensity. In my game the red and orange look alike. If everyone would write in, they would change it. Love the game - if I could see the colors.

The only thing stopping this from getting 5 stars is that the orange and red are far too close together. My orange tiles have now been painted white.

Hi. I think Qwirkle is a very aesthetically pleasing game. I love the feel of the wood tiles and they are very handsome. I will only note that my son cannot play because he is color blind. So all the blues look like purples, etc.

We love this game but I had to steal the slanted tile stands from my Upwords game to display my Quirkle tiles. These tile stands should be included in the game instead of trying to stand them up on their own. My 2 cents.

The game itself is awesome. A lot of fun. The reason it doesn't get a perfect rating from me is the really poor quality of the game tiles themselves. The paint comes off really easy and the tiles often aren't even the same size. Some aren't even square. For that price I find this really disappointing.

I gave Qwirle as a family game to my 3 children/ 6 grandchild. I have played with all the families and we have had a great time. The only draw back...my son in law is color blind, therefore cannot enjoy the fun with us. I would suggest that a letter be placed in the center of each tile to represent the color, ex. R=red, P=purple etc. I know that he would enjoy the game and we would enjoy having him join in the fun.

It is a very good game and can be played with good result by the whole family, young abd old together. To begin with one can have an extra rule: to play just one piece each time. In this way you get used to the game and can use the real rule for this.

Good game, however I found a problem with ours. It says that there are 3 of each piece, however my set was shipped with 1 extra green clover and 1 too few green diamonds.
Otherwise game play is 5/5. Good game, a bit hard to learn.
