These colorful tiles can be used in many different ways. Each tile has one color and one shape on it. Tiles are an easily handled size of 1¼ inches. If your person with Alzheimer's is able, QwirkleTM can be played like Dominoes. Or, like Bernice, who matched them by color or shape. Even if your person is only able to look at the tiles or line them up, in any order, at least they are thinking about which tile to choose and enjoying the shapes and colors and keeping those fingers moving.
People in the early stages of Alzheimer's and other dementias can enjoy QwirkleTM with the whole family. In later stages, limit the number of pieces and allow him to match patterns and colors in any way he likes.
Caution: This game has small pieces. If your person with Alzheimer's or dementia puts things in his mouth or swallows things, be very watchful while playing.
Qwirkle is appropriate for people in all stages.
