“Hold Your Cards... I Mean Blocks ~ A Qwirkle Strategic Tip”

This may seem obvious, but I’ve been able to use it over and over again. If you have a group of three or more… wait until you can get a Qwirkle before placing it. Far too often I see people adding 3 to 2 and someone else gets the Qwirkle… WHY? Hold out for the easy money people!

BTW There are only three of each tile, so you can easily count and see what might be available to your opponents. This is not cheating, as it’s in the rules 6×6=36 108/36=3. You can use this information to decide when to place your blocks. This ain’t no kids game… so stop playing like one and make your niece cry. Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!

Strategic Tip ~ Keep your blocks until the best moment to lay them… Qwirkles ROCK!

“If you can't get them, block them.”

As stated, you should definitely wait to try to get a Qwirkle, however, if there’s a row of 5 that could be Qwirkled soon and you can’t get it – block it. Playing aggressively and trying to eliminate optimal moves for your opponents is a viable strategy that can take points away from the other players.
