Qwirkle Wins 2011 Game of the Year Award
The winner of the 2011 German “Game of the Year” (Spiel des Jahres) award is Qwirkle, an abstract strategy game in which players use wooden blocks in six shapes and colors to build lines on a free-form surface. The rules are simple and quick to learn, and there are numerous opportunities for skillful play and strategic thinking.
Qwirkle is the rare game that has as much appeal to adults as it does to kids. It’s simple, yet the possibilities are nearly infinite.
In addition to the Spiel des Jahres, Qwirkle has won numerous awards, including the Mensa Select, Parents’ Choice, and Major Fun awards.
