Product Information

Q Bitz by Mindware is a great game that can easily be adapted to suit a childs needs and ability. For example by playing as a single player rather than competing or by concentrating on one of the suggested rounds. This game would help children and teens develop visual skills and would help those with dyslexia.

Yes it’s a brain game, but not in a way that a traditional board gamer might think. There is no strategy, no tactics, no long term planning or memory required. No inter-player wrangling or mean spirited tactics. The game tests players’ spatial recognition, immediate memory, and manual dexterity. This is an area of the brain that develops very early on and only declines when you start using a walker. In fact, studies show that by age 11 children have reached an “adult level of performance in visuospatial memory.” For the most part, this “visuospatial sketchpad” of the brain is just as developed in adults as it is in children ages 8-10. This actually provides an even playing field when it comes to the brain work in this game. Players race to re-roll all remaining unusable cubes until they roll shapes that are needed to complete the pattern. The first player to complete the pattern shouts, "Q-bitz!" Be the first to correctly arrange your cubes to match the pattern on the card. Collect a card each time you win. The player with the most cards after nine rounds wins the game.

End of the Game

Reveal the top card. Players roll all of their cubes on the table like dice and use the cubes as rolled to recreate the pattern. If you’re the first to complete the card, shout ‘Q-bitz!’ and collect the card.

If all players agree the pattern is correct, the winner is awarded the card. If the pattern is not correct, play resumes. Use a Timer: In games that mix parents and much younger players, feel free to use a timer (a traditional sand timer or on your smartphone) Then award the card to the player that got the most correct cubes placed in the allotted time.

Same Round play: The rules suggest playing the same round over and over again for a simplified game. This is an excellent suggestion if younger players are not confident or enjoy playing one round type over another. The perfect introduction to Q-bitz, with sets of four cubes and 60 pattern cards. Players race to recreate the pattern with their cubes – fastest player wins the card! Each round is played three times. At the end of the final round the player with the most cards wins the game of Q-bitz! Components

With over 80 patterns, the cards themselves are an integral aspect of the game. Some are symmetrical and some are not. Some are visually recognizable, (“Hey that looks like two birds!”) others look like a crazy poster from the 1970’s. So the game replay value is not only affected how much caffeine or sugar a player had before the game, or the age levels of the player but mostly in what round a pattern card pops up. Any player turns over the top Q-bitz card. Players roll all of their cubes on the table like dice. Using the cubes as rolled (face up), players place as many cubes as possible in their tray to recreate the pattern shown on the card.
