Quarto is a highly evolved, 3D version of four-in-a-row. The goal is to get four pieces in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) that share a common characteristic, but the twist is that your opponent chooses which piece you have to play. Each piece has multiple traits either tall or short; black or white; round or square; and flat-topped or dimpled. An excellent brain-stimulating abstract strategy game. The game includes 16 wooden playing pieces, a wooden board, fabric bag, and instructions. Crafted from high-quality natural materials, this durable wooden game is as beautiful to display on your shelf as it is engaging to play. Quarto plays in just 15 minutes with simple rules that are easy to learn and teach.Perfect for ages 8+
