Sqwirkle: A Friendly Way to Score Qwirkle

My friends and I love Qwirkle, but we kept running into the same small pain: scoring. We’d spend too much time double‑checking rows, columns, and bonus points, and it would slow the game down. So I built a tiny tool to make the scoring quick, accurate, and (most importantly) drama‑free.

Meet Sqwirkle

Sqwirkle is a simple scorer built specifically for Qwirkle. It helps us count points without breaking the flow of the game. The goal was to remove the “wait, did we add that correctly?” moment that always pops up.

Why I Built It

It’s a tiny thing, but I love building tools that serve people around me. This one was born out of friendship, laughter, and our weekly board‑game days.

If you end up using it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
