Price checked 2026-10-06. The partner store sets the final price and it can change.

This edition of Qwirkle adds the one thing every table ends up wishing for: a proper tray to hold your tiles. Same color-and-shape matching, same quick-to-learn rules, with less peeking and fewer tiles knocked onto the floor.

  • Trays keep each player's tiles standing up and out of view of opponents
  • Still 108 wooden tiles, with three of each of 36 color-symbol pairings
  • Same core rule: lines must match by color or by shape, then you tally points
  • Easy for new players such as cousins or a child's friends to jump into mid-evening
  • Suits families who want hidden hands for tactics without improvising with cups or napkins

How it plays at home

You load your tray from the pile, then build on the table the same way you would in standard Qwirkle. With your tiles lined up on the rack, it is easy to survey the options and find a move that scores well.

Pick this one if you play with younger children who struggle to hold a handful of tiles, or with sharp-eyed relatives who like to look at your hand. Tip: arrange your tray by color first, then by shape, and you will spot long lines much faster.

Some much fun for everyone

it’s a fun, easy-to-learn strategy game where players match tiles by color or shape to build lines and score points. It’s great for family game nights and works well for both kids and adults.

Super fun game for pattern recognition and problem solving

My sister in law introduced us to this game last Christmas and it has become a family favorite. Two out of four in my family were skeptical and not interested at first but once they played a round they were hooked too. It seems complicated at first but the patterns click into place quickly. We have a no tech policy when we are out at the ranch and Quirkle has become one of our favorite pastimes. We had friends with us this past weekend and I have a feeling they are hooked on the game now too. I love that the pieces are made of wood. They are a good size and the bag for holding the pieces is great. It is a simple way to get the brain working, looking for patterns and finding solutions that give you the most points while staying within the rules of the game. You can up the intensity of the game by adding a time limit for each turn. Makes you have to plan ahead and think faster. Or you can play without keeping score and make it as mellow as you like.

Great Game

This game is great. So much so that I have given them away as gifts. It is easy to take with me and can be played by people of all ages.

Low quality trays

I love the game Qwirkle. I have bought the game multiple times and various styles for various environments (home / work). This one was bought recently because it had the trays. I was quite disappointed in the quality of those trays. If I had not known that those were supposed to be important, I might’ve thrown them away because of the low quality. Someone might think they’re just filler plastic. I expected better, given the high-quality of the Qwirkle blocks.
