A Mensa Select Award winner, Qwirkle is a great game for little ones up to adults. The object of the game is simple: build lines of tiles that match either by color or by shape. It is similar to the game Set in that way, but without the speed component. While the rules are simple and easy to explain, it is a good game to build a child’s strategic thinking and use increasingly tricky tactical maneuvers. Younger children will be more focused on color and shape recognition, and the many possible moves will keep older children engaged while challenging their spatial reasoning and planning skills.
