Challenging and thoroughly addictive! Now you can play the original award winning board game Qwirkle on your iPad and iPhone!Qwirkle is MindWare's best-selling board game, with over two million copies sold worldwide. Akbulgrien, Great Version of a Great GameThis electronic version of the table game is brilliantly done.
My family played the table version constantly when we all lived near one another. Now that we're apart physically, we can still play Qwirkle! Actually, to tell the truth, we play more than before because with this iteration there is no set up or clean up, no need to clean off a table or other large surface area, and players don't even need to all be free at the same time!So, why only four stars? My only problem with this great app is that the notifications system doesn't always work.

For example, I do usually get an initial notification that it's my turn, but there's no number on the app itself indicating how many games I have turns in. This means that after I get the original notification and ignore it because I'm busy, there's no number reminder to let me see that it's my turn like so many other multiplayer apps do. This may seem like no big deal, but I play several asynchronous games with my friends and family in my scarce spare time, and without those numbers working correctly, I resort to loading the game to see if it's my turn or not.Again, this is only a very small annoyance and should not prevent anyone from purchasing and enjoy this excellent adaptation of a fabulous family game.
CRE8 JOY, Great with a couple suggestionsThis a great app. It’s fun and plays just like the regular game. For those who have trouble being able to connect with your friends. It took us a little while to figure out but we got it: make sure your Game Center is turned on. That’s for iPhone users; sorry, not sure about Androids. Two suggestions.
1)The app is great about letting you know it’s your turn if you’re not currently in the game. But if you are in the game playing you have to watch the screen to know when it’s your turn. There needs to be some sort of sound effect to let you know it’s your turn even when the game is open. This is helpful when you’re trying to play and do other things at the same time. 2) Create a chat feature inside the game. That way if you want to comment on your friend’s move you can do so without getting out of the game.
Otherwise it’s great. One criticism though. When we were having trouble with the initial setup and I kept trying to click on the support link it just took me to the Oriental Trading site.
Don’t include a support link if there’s no actual support. It’s just frustrating.
That said, I highly recommend this game for those who love Quirkle. PierreBoohier, Frustratingly Predictable Play yet Great Fun At TimesWe love to play the board game, and the app seemed like a great move. It is frustrating, however, when it's clear that you've been set up to lose the game. I do not mind losing, I just want competitive play.
If I set up five tiles in a row, it's pretty much guaranteed every time that the robot will get Qwirkle. It seems that after winning so many games, you're forced, no matter what, to lose so many games. So it makes me question whether or not I even won originally based on my ability or because the computer decided it was time for me to win. I've played more games than I care to admit, and the pattern is very clear once you've played for long enough. That said, it has been great practice for when we play as a family. I do really enjoy this game.
