About the game
Qwixx: Bonus consists of two new scorepads that provide twists on the normal way of playing Qwixx. On one of the scorepads, the score sheet now includes twelve boxed spaces, with three boxes in each of the colored rows. Additionally, a row of twelve colored boxes lies below the colored rows. Whenever you cross off a boxed space, you cross off the next colored box in the row (e.g., a red box), then cross off the leftmost space of that color that you can legally mark off. This might cause a chain reaction, and it might cause you to complete a second row, which would then end the game. On the other scorepad, ten spaces among the colored rows are marked with bonus boxes, with two each of five bonuses. When you mark off the second box of a particular bonus, you receive a special reward, such as crossing off the next two spaces of your row with the fewest marks, crossing off the next space of each active color, or doubling the score of your least valuable row at the end of the game.

Questions and answers
Qwixx: Bonus supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Qwixx: Bonus is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Qwixx: Bonus for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Qwixx: Bonus has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Qwixx: Bonus belongs to these categories: Dice and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Paper-and-Pencil. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Qwixx: Bonus are: Reinhard Staupe and Steffen Benndorf. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Qwixx: Bonus as an expansion for Qwixx. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Qwixx to use it. Check that your edition of Qwixx is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
