Board Game Arena

Hello! One of my favorite games, Qwirkle, isn't on this platform yet. Is there somewhere we can suggest games to be added, or a game that's similar I can try?

You can request new games in this thread: Games wanted for BGA / Jeux demandés sur BGA Being a fairly well-known game, it has already been requested at least 6 times (maybe more with misspellings), but feel free to be the 7th.

Welcome to BGA, tellycakes

I think the closest ones I know on BGA are:
Chromino
Trellis

Other tile placing games with very easy rules here are:
Battle of Lits
Kado
Lucky Numbers
Metro (base game)
Monster Factory
Setup
Solstis
Twentyfour Seven
United Square
Uptown

Since you know Azul and seem to like it, here are some suggestions going a bit further:
Barenpark
Captain Flip
Cartographers
Cities
Dedale (cooperative or solo game)
Ghosts Galore
Kingdomino
Loco Momo
My Shelfie
Nimalia
Patchwork
Slide
Stonespine Architects / Dungeon Designer

This is BGA's filter for tile placing games: https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?mechanismTag=206 A lot more to discover for you...
But a few of them are quite complex games, where tile placement is only a part of the mechanics, e. g. Ark Nova https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=arknova I suggest you first check game duration and other tags of a game (here: hand management, collecting) in order to see if it fits for you.

Most games have a tutorial in the learning section of each game page, helping you with the rules and the BGA interface, and links to rules videos.
Have fun and tell us about your experience!
