Qwirkle Cubes

Designed by Susan McKinley Ross

The follow-up to one of the most awarded games of all time! Qwirkle Cubes is a sequel of sorts to Qwirkle with the goal of the game being the same as before: Create rows and columns in which the tokens all match either in color or symbol in order to score points. Each time you add tokens to the playing area, you score points equal to the rows/columns that you create or add to. Close out a row by playing the sixth token in it, and you score six bonus points in addition to whatever else you score for the turn.

Qwirkle Cubes plays much like our original Qwirkle game--but adds to the strategy because you can roll your cubes for more chances to play the exact shapes you want! Also, because everyone plays open-handed, you can analyze your opponents' future moves.

Components:

• 90 cubes: 15 each of six colors
• Draw-string bag
