The first player to roll a 6 takes on the role of "active player". Tip: Put a small horizontal line through the numbers that you skipped, so that you don't cross them out later by accident. In the blue row you can only cross out right of the 10. In the green row you can only cross out numbers to the right of the 6. In the yellow row only the 11 and the 12 may still be crossed out. Therefore, the red 2, 3, 4 and 6 may not be crossed out later in the game. You do not have to begin with the number farthest to the left, but if you skip any numbers, they cannot be crossed out afterward.Įxample: In the red row first the 5 and then the 7 were crossed out. SetupĮach player takes a score sheet and something to write with.īefore playing it's important to understand the one basic rule of Qwixx, which is that numbers must be crossed out from left to right in each of the four color-rows. Score the most points by crossing out as many numbers in the four color-rows as possible while avoiding penalty points.
The cross on the lock counts toward the total number of crosses marked in that color-row. Holding out for a 2 or 3 to get a row started is almost never wise.

All players may then (but are not required to) cross out the number that the active player announced in any (but only one) of the color-rows. On your turn you must take a number or take a penalty (worth -5 at the end of the game). If a player wants to lock a row by crossing out the number at the extreme right, they must first have at least five numbers in that row and have a sum that matches the number furthest right. If you wish to cross out the number at the extreme right end of a color-row (red 12, yellow 12, green 2, blue 2) you must have first crossed out at least five numbers in that row. Then the two actions described on the left are carried out again, one after the other. On other rolls: Take that roll if it creates no gaps.
