Qwirkle Board Game Review
An addictive strategy game in the tradition of Sequence, Scrabble, and Othello, the Qwirkle Board Game from MindWare has a simple, straightforward premise: match tiles and win points. But the real joy of the game lies in plotting and scheming your way to victory. Winner of the Parent's Choice Gold Award and a Mensa Select National Competition Winner, Qwirkle is destined to be a family game night favorite. This game is designed for ages six and up and for two to four players.
Qwirkle consists of 108 wooden blocks with six different shapes in six colors. Using the blocks, players attempt to score the most points by building lines that share the same shape or color. The simple setup makes this an instant winner for younger kids, while adults will enjoy strategizing to win.
A typical game of Qwirkle lasts about 45 minutes--longer when you're first learning how to play--and players will likely catch on to the rules in no time at all. The game can be set up anywhere, although a large tabletop is best to accommodate the generous number of tiles. The only other thing you'll need is a pencil and paper to keep track of everyone's point count.
Each tile has an illustration on the back (circle, eight-point star, four-point star, square, clover, or diamond). Each of these symbols appears in six different colors (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple). In total, the game has three tiles each of the 36 possible color-symbol combinations. To help make sure you don't lose any tiles in between games, Qwirkle comes with a drawstring storage pouch.
As in Scrabble, the game starts with players drawing their own "hand" of six tiles. The player with the most tiles that share something in common (color or symbol) plays their pieces and wins points. And so it goes until the pieces make up a giant grid. One rule adults will likely need to reiterate to little ones is that duplicate tiles don't count. For instance, if someone has three diamonds, and two of them are green, they can only count one of those diamonds for points.
As play continues and the stakes get higher, younger kids may need some help deciding where to build to maximize their points. Our testers found that the length of the game may make younger kids squirmy halfway through. To keep them engaged, parents can always distribute half the number of tiles to start. The game is over when all the tiles have been played and all the points have been tallied.

Lonpos Colorful Cabin Brain Teaser Puzzle Review
There are hundreds of challenges each slightly different. In most cases one attempts to place all the pieces flat in the case. To vary the puzzle select one color piece and place it in the top center position. Consider it as an anchor piece. Do not move from this position. Now attempt to fit in the remaining eleven pieces into the case.
Includes small 10 page instruction booklet. The instructions can be slightly confounding because the translation into English would rate a "D-" in a high school freshman english class. Otherwise, this puzzle has lots of play value for those who enjoy thinking creatively. Multiple/Hundreds of 2D and 3D challenges. And it is fairly simple to discern how the puzzle goal.
Colorful Cabin is similar to another popular puzzle called Kanoodle. Colorful Cabin has many more challenges, more interesting design and better quality case. Manufacturer provides hints to puzzles on their web site.
Great puzzle for enhancing spatial skills, problem solving and design. This is one of those puzzles that is hard to break away from once a person begins playing.
