Hermit crabs will use whatever shell they can find, including this blown glass shell by robert dugrenier. 

Qwirkle Wins 2011 Spiel des Jahres:

Though released in the US several years ago, this was a newcomer on the German scene and was therefore eligible.

This is a great game for all ages, and I highly suggest this as a family game. To my game playing friends with new kids, you will be looking for a game like this in a few years. 

Congratulations to Susan McKinley Ross, the first American woman to have their game win the Spiel des Jahres!
