"Simply started – quickly won" also applies to QWIRKLE FLEX, as the straightforward placement rules from the successful QWIRKLE remain unchanged: Place in a row either the same shapes with different colors or the same colors with different symbols to score as many points as possible. NEW is that the background color of the wooden tiles now also adds extra points. The more often the same background appears diagonally, the more points you earn! This opens up surprisingly new tactical possibilities while keeping the rules simple.
