On iPhoneclub we’ve ever written about MindFeud. We called this a kind of “WordFeud with shapes on the iPhone.” An observant reader pointed out back then, that MindFeud is actually based on a physical board game: Qwirkle. It is the most popular board games maker Mindware and it is now available in the iOS version. Qwirkle similar to Scrabble, but also knock. You have to put stones on the board and score points by making use of the same color or shape. Rows Qwirkle is suitable for players aged 6 years and you can play with up to four friends.
Qwirkle is a tactical game, suitable for young and old . The game consists of 108 blocks with six different shapes and six different colors. After the first player has placed a row of different players must build, but you must always affirm a row in the same color or the same forms. The summed lengths of rows and columns form the final score. The player who has lost all the stones first, get bonus points. Qwirkle is fairly recent, the game won awards, including the title Spiel des Jahres in 2007 and 2011. A game takes about 30 minutes.
The iOS version of Qwirkle has the advantage that you can play against the computer it alone. Also you can play online against others or pass-and-play play together while your iPhone or iPad always passes. There are four difficulty levels, so even fanatical Qwirkle players it can go to work. Via Game Center, you can see how your scores against other players. To make it extra fun, you can set different backgrounds (eg a wooden table or a checkered tablecloth) and choose between 2D or 3D view. In fact, you can except the classic Qwirkle colors also create your own play set by adjusting the colors. The game is new to you, you can browse through a manual to see how it works.
