Qwirkle is on Amazon for $17.49 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. If you haven't heard about Mindware's Best Selling Game of All Time (literally), read the fantastic reviews it got on Amazon (4.8 out of 5 stars over a whopping 477 customer reviews). My friends with kids absolutely love this strategy game, as it can be played on many different levels (helpful if your kids are far apart in ages) and adults can play it as well and still find it challenging.
Qwirle is also the recipient of the Parents' Choice Gold Award, the Mensa Select Award, the Major Fun Award and the Creative Child Magazine Award.
Here's what one Amazon customer had to say:
As a mom with six kids of different ages, I look for games that my younger ones can play but that don't make me crazy with boredom (ie CandyLand, Chutes and Ladders) My 4 year old can only make it through 1/2 a game, the end gets too complex for him, but my 7, 10, and 12 year old boys love it, as do my in-laws and everyone else who has played it with us. I like games that only take minute to explain and start playing but that have enough strategy to keep the mind occupied. Also at 30-45 minutes a round, it's enough of a distraction but doesn't take hours to play. The game consists of wooden tiles with 6 different shapes and colors and that's it. Very durable, my 4 year old loves to build Qwirkle castles. I recommend this game. My other favorites are Blokus, Othello and Rummikube, all the same genre, fun, easy to explain and play and yet a challenge.
Toys R Us has Qwirkle for $26.99 and Kmart has it for $21.86, so Amazon has got the best price for this awesome game. Hurry though, because as we well know, Amazon prices change on a dime.
