The rules, step by step

Setup
At the start of the game, players are dealt six tile pieces. Each tile features a combination of six possible shapes and six different colors, ensuring a diverse variety of pieces for strategic matching throughout the game.
Objective
The main objective of Qwirkle is to score the highest number of points by building lines of tiles that share either common colors or common shapes, exercising both visual perception and critical thinking skills.
On your turn
During your turn, you must play as many pieces as possible in a connected line. New pieces must match existing lines in either color or shape, but you cannot place two identical tiles or two of the same color/shape in the same line.
Scoring
Players earn points based on the number of pieces they can successfully add to a line in a single play. Creating or extending longer lines yields higher scores.
Game end
The game concludes when no more moves can be made and all tiles are depleted. The player with the highest total points wins the game.
Tips
If you are unable to place any pieces on your turn, you may exchange some or all of your tiles with pieces from the bag. Plan your placements carefully to maximize points and block opponents.
