## Review summary

User reviews show Qwirkle is enjoyable and often fun, especially for playing with friends online, and it’s a beloved board-game adaptation. However, performance is marred by frequent crashes at startup and during loading, and online multiplayer features are unreliable, with invites failing and delays in starting games. Aggressive AI in hard mode is another common complaint, with reports of cheating or unfair advantage. Social/invitation flows are described as clunky, making it hard to connect with friends. Overall, the game is loved when it runs, but stability and online flow need fixes.
