Qwinto

Published by the same German manufacturer Nürnberger-Spielkarten-Verlag, Qwinto is often marketed as the sequel of Qwixx. Qwixx and Qwinto are like siblings and they always come together. But when they reached the states, they were “adopted by different parents”. Qwixx is under Gamewright, one of the biggest game manufacturers in US. Qwinto is under Pandasaurus, a relatively smaller publisher. Box sizes of both games are also different.

Qwinto

Like Qwixx, Qwinto is a simple roll-and-write dice rolling game. But the components inside are even simpler than those of Qwixx. Instead of 6, Qwinto only got 3 dice, 1 in orange, 1 in yellow and 1 in purple. They are all standard d6 dice. It also comes with 80 pieces of score sheets, instructions and 4 pencils. I have no problem of finding pencils at home. But if you don’t have any kids, it is sometimes difficult to find a pencil. Pandasaurus  is so caring.

Game play is also easy. Just like Qwixx, you first roll some dice and, depending on what you rolled, put a number in a box on the score sheet. Using which box to put the number relies on your wisdom.

Additional score sheets are available from Pandasaurus. It is also widely available on internet. But you need a colour printer to print them out.
