Set up the tiles face down and each player draws 6 tiles
Take turns placing tiles on the table to form lines
Match tiles by either color or shape
A line can contain only one color with different shapes, or one shape with different colors
No line may have duplicate tiles
You may place one or more tiles on your turn
All tiles placed in one turn must fit the same line or connected lines
New tiles must touch at least one existing tile
If you place 6 tiles in one turn, you score a Qwirkle bonus
Score points for every tile in each line you extend or create
A completed line of 6 tiles scores extra points
After your turn, draw tiles until you have 6 again
If you cannot play, you may exchange tiles or pass, depending on the game rules used
The game ends when the tile bag is empty and a player uses all their tiles, or when no more moves are possible
The player with the highest score wins
