Best Christmas Gifts: Qwirkle

We're getting close to the Christmas season, and that means gift buying
will soon begin in earnest! So, in the next series of posts, I will show you
some of the best Christmas toy gifts on the market. At the same time,
the posts will illustrate how to promote products with Blogger blogs.
This is especially valuable for those of  you who are getting into online
marketing for the first time.

I'll begin by asking you a question: Have you ever considered having a
family game night? It's a lot of fun, although you have to make certain
that you have the right games to entertain the whole family, regardless
of age.

Now, it isn't always easy to find games that will satisfy both younger
children and adults. Here's a suggestion for you - it's a game called
Qwirkle. This game will take family game night to a new level of fun,
excitement, and learning.

This game can be played by 2 to 4 players ages six years old and
up. Each game lasts about 45 minutes and involves well-thought-out
strategy to line up coordinating shapes or colors. The game includes
108 wooden blocks. It won the Mensa Best Mind Game Award in
2007 as well as the Major Fun Award in the same year. In addition,
it has won an award from Games Magazine as the Best Family Game
Runner-up in 2007.



Qwirkle is a tactile block game which combines the logic and strategy
of the Set game with with an innovative multi-maneuver gameplay
similar to Scrabble. The rules are very easy to learn which makes it
a great game for younger children.

You'll simply be creating rows and columns of matching colors and
shapes. Players will need to look for opportunities where they can
make a big score by putting a tile that touches multiple pieces or
matches both colors and shapes. The player has the most points at
the end of the game wins.

Although the game seems to quite simple, Qwirkle allows children
and adults alike to use their skills of logic and strategy to maneuver
to win the game. After winning a Parents' Choice Gold Award, it
was obvious that this game was a true winner when it came to
children and families.

Instead of sitting around the TV all night or letting the kids play video
games for hours on end, family game night has become a staple in
many households in an effort to make family time a priority again.

If you already have the game Qwirkle, then you might want to go to
the next level by playing Qwirkle Cubes. This game is the follow-up
to the original and plays very much like the traditional game. However,
you will have more control over your hand since you can roll and
re-roll your dice to get all of the shapes that you want.

Everyone plays openhanded, so you'll be able to better judge what
your opponent's future moves might be. You can create columns
and rows of matching colors and shapes to score the most points.

Quirkle is an excellent game to play for the whole family!
