## Description
Qwirkle Cards brings the core of the classic Qwirkle into the card world, delivering a fast‑paced, twist‑filled experience. Each game starts with every player drawing nine cards from a 108‑card deck, where six symbols appear three times in each of six colors. The player with the most cards of a single symbol or color (without duplicates) kicks off the game by laying those cards face‑up as a set. Play then proceeds clockwise, and on each turn a player must place at least one card, but may play as many as they like as long as they share a color or a symbol. You can create a brand‑new set of three or more cards, add to existing sets, or even rearrange cards between sets, always respecting the rule that a set cannot contain duplicate colors or symbols. When a player completes a "qwirkle"—six cards that cover every color of one symbol or every symbol of one color—they claim that set as a point. After playing, the hand is refilled to nine cards. The game ends when the deck runs out; the player who drew the last card still gets a final turn. The winner is the one who has claimed the most qwirkles. The gameplay feels a bit like Rummikub, but hand management and set collection keep Qwirkle Cards brisk and replayable, perfect for 20‑minute sessions with 2‑4 players.
