This mechanism adds a whole layer of disappointment to the game. ‘Ahhh…’ You already crossed of a red four and now this card sits there, in your hand, being useless. You want a blue four, then a four is drawn. ‘Wohoo!’ You take that card and it turns at to be a red four.

In the card game, you need to be a bit lucky with the numbers that are drawn, but even when your desired number came out, you are still not sure if it’s really the colour you need. In the dice game you have to be a bit lucky when you roll the dice, but once you’ve rolled them, you can mix and match all the dice to get something you want. Additionally, the cards might not have colour you wanted, once you’ve taken them. First of all, the card that are drawn might not have the numbers you want. Like with dice rolling, there’s still luck involved. The first thing is that you are able to choose one or more cards and add them to your hand. There are a couple of things that are different. Although it’s less frantic, because you don’t chuck dice. The number on the card is fixed, but you can choose the colour yourself when you play it. You add eleven multicoloured joker cards to the deck. Together with the base game you get a mini-expansion. Add all your points from the different coloured rows and your useless turns together and the player with the most points wins the game. The more crosses in a row you have, the more points you get. The game ends when one player has closed two rows or when someone had his fourth useless turn. The same as in regular Qwixx, if you can’t do anything in your turn, you have a useless turn and that will earn you minus five points. You are the only one who can’t cross off any numbers in that row any more. There are no consequences for the other players. In this game you don’t do anything like that. In Qwixx, the dice game, you then remove the die in that colour from the game. When you crossed off, at least, five numbers in a row and after that you are able to cross of a two (yellow and red) or a twelve (green and blue), you may additionally cross off the lock. So, once you’ve crossed off a red five, you can’t cross off a red six. You can only cross off numbers to the right of the last ticked off number in a row. Plus, this player’s math skills lack a bit 😉 So, getting rid of useless card is the way to create more space for better cards in your hand. Remember, you draw back up to five hand cards at the beginning of your next turn. Why do you want to do that? Well, because you might have crossed off a red three already and you just want to get rid of this useless card. You can, however, discard the 3, 6 and 7 card and decide to only cross off the 6 and 7. So, you can cross off a red 3, 5 and 6, but you can’t cross off a 3, 6 and 7 in the same turn. When you cross off more than one number, there can be only one empty spot between those numbers. So, if we look at the picture above, a red, yellow, green or blue four.Īdditionally, you can discard one, two or three cards, from your hand, of the same colour and cross off those numbers in he corresponding row. After the supply is refilled, every player can choose to cross off the number of the card on top of the draw deck in one of the four coloured rows. Then you draw cards until there are four new cards on the table.

So, now there are four face down cards on the table and one numbered card on top of the draw deck.ĭuring your turn, you must take cards from the row of four until you have five cards in your hand. Then draw four cards from the draw deck and place them face down in the middle of the table. At the beginning of the game every player receives four cards. You use the same score sheet as you used in Qwixx and the goal is the same: cross off as many numbers on your sheet as possible.īecause you use cards instead of dice, the way you do that is a bit different. At the front, it has the same number, but then in one of the four colours yellow, red, green and blue. Every card has a number on the back from one to twelve. Qwixx: the card game is like Qwixx, but, you probably guessed right, with cards. You get 55 cards, 1 score pad and the rules. Overview: What do you get for your money? Steffen Benndorf got help from Reinhard Staupe and created the card version of his award-winning game Qwixx.

That’s still the basic idea of the game cross off as many numbers in a row. Here you get some cards and a score sheet, then play those cards and cross off numbers. This game has a little more components than it’s older brother Qwixx.
