What's in the box: Playing field; 16 figures; Storage bag; Rules of the game. Quarto may well be called one of the most popular abstract board games of our time. She has a huge army of fans around the world, thanks to a combination of simple rules and addictive gameplay. Interestingly, it has practically no analogues, so you should definitely try playing at least once. The figures are all so different, but what should you do? The playing field and all the wooden turrets are laid out in the center of the table. Participants take turns taking one piece and passing it to the opponent so that he can place it in any circle on the table. Despite the seeming lack of similar parameters in the figures, they still exist: high - low; dark - light; round - square; with a notch - without a notch. The task of all participants is to collect a full-fledged row of 4 turrets that match at least one of these signs. In this case, you will need to shout "Quarto" and then the player becomes the winner. However, there is a trick in "Quarto" - if someone does not notice the row, then the opponent can point to it on his turn and take the victory for himself. To win, you have to try. In this game you can't just hope for luck, because you can't do without personal skills. You will need logic to understand the similarity of different figures. Mindfulness is a must, because you can miss a profitable move, or even worse - a ready-made row. The strategy needs to be built several moves ahead in order to force the opponent to put the turret in exactly the place where it suits you. The board game is not for nothing that it has become so widespread, because such a system, when participants decide for each other than to walk, is not found anywhere else. And the process itself, despite the seeming simplicity, is quite exciting, and forces the players to use their full potential in order to achieve success.
