Qwirkle is a tile-based game for two to four players, designed by Susan McKinley Ross and published by MindWare in 2006. It shares some characteristics with the games Rummikub and Scrabble. In Canada it is distributed by the game and puzzle company Outset Media. MindWare considers Qwirkle to be its most awarded game of all time, and in 2011 it won the Spiel des Jahres. A sequel, Qwirkle Cubes, was released by MindWare in 2009. Both of those games, like Qwirkle, are played with tiles, which is why it is grouped with the tile games.
