If you can score the most points you will become the king of Qwixx.
Perparation: Each player gets a score sheet and a pen. The score sheet has four colored rows of numbers, with the numbers 2-12 in each row.
Game Play: On each turn, the active player (the one whose turn it is) rolls six dice - two white, one red, one yellow, and one green. The two white dice are the "normal" dice, while the other three are "extra" dice.
The active player then announces the sum of the two white dice. All players can then mark off that number in one of the four colored rows on their score sheet. For example, if the active player rolls a 6 and a 3 on the white dice, they would announce "9," and all players can then mark off the number 9 in one of the colored rows.
The active player can also choose to use one or more of the extra dice, but only they can mark off numbers on their score sheet using the extra dice. If they choose to use an extra die, they announce the value of the die and mark it off on their score sheet. For example, if they roll a 4 on the red die, they can mark off the number 4 in the red row on their score sheet.
After the active player has marked their score sheet, their turn is over and the next player becomes the active player.
Players can mark off numbers in any order they choose, but once a number is marked off in a row, they cannot mark off any lower numbers in that same row. For example, if a player marks off the number 10 in the yellow row, they cannot mark off any numbers lower than 10 in the yellow row.
The game ends when one player has marked off at least five numbers in any one colored row, or when two colored rows have been completely filled in. At the end of the game, each player scores points based on the number of marked-off numbers in each colored row. Players also lose points for any unfilled spaces on their score sheet.

My wife claims that if I roll a white six and a red 6 on my turn then if I am locking out the red row with my 12, then if she has five X’s in the red row then she can also cross off the red 12 and lock it out also. I say that would only be true if the 12 was on the two white dice. She can’t use a colored die on my turn to make any number ever!

I found a comment on another site with rules from Gamewright. What we figured out was that when playing Qwixx Mixx the 12 or 2 will lock the row, but the lock - locks all boxes of that color regardless of which row they are in. So if you are the player that locks the row, you can't play any numbers before the 12 or 2, but if someone else locks the row, there is the possibility that you can have playable numbers in the row. Hopefully that makes sense.

While playing Qwik deluxe we encountered this problem. When you are locking out a color on the Qwik Mixx side does that mean you are locking out the entire row where the color you are locking is to the far right or are you locking out only the color blocks that you are locking out. Also, if you are locking out the color blocks only on the different rows, can you use the other color blocks to the left of the color blocks that are now locked out. I hope this makes sense. Thank you Terry Fund. Tlfundsr@hotmail.com
