3:38 Quarto! There's already a winning row of light pieces! Do I win? Did I beat Rodney?

I own this game since... forever. It's a great object of design (one of the few I leave exposed in the living room) and a great teaching tool.
I taught it to my younger son and we play often. I hope he will let me win someday.

Dude, I just tune in now to see your box flipping skillz!

Of the instructional videos you have done for Gigamic games, this is the game that looks the most interesting to me. I imagine it has caused quite a lot of angst over the years as a player realizes too late that they just handed the winning piece to their opponent. Hehe. I see it on Amazon for about $35. I added it to my wish list. I'd like to see you do a play through of this game.

Perfect timing. This will make a great gift for Mum and Dad for Christmas. Hopefully my local game store has it.

Thank you for this excellent explanation.
I just bought Quarto, and this explanation will be a good way to introduce it to friends.

My father actually built his own copy of this game :D

[QDogg]

This game is great! They make a travel size mini version of this game too. It's a great gift for all ages and i have a copy of it at the office too

[gabrielesimionato]

Fun fact: the name of the game is italian, and it means "Fourth!"

[davidwaybright]

My favorite abstract game of all time.

[FrankMinogue]

Now this game has potential to make it to my game table!!!! I love the strategy!

[lukeo.]

Rodney taking out a classic! Love it :D

Rodney, the content you put out is top notch! Hands down the best game play tutorials on YouTube. But I have to be honest, my wallet can't handle all the games you make me want to buy.

[BreezingThrou]

Thanks. Anouther game we never heard of and now looking to own. Great vid, look forward to playing this soon.

[Neverdie]

I've bought used in perfect condition for less than one dollar here in Poland - best cost/fun ratio ever xD

[swiftchase]

This looks really fun! Thanks for the clear instructions. I really enjoy Connect 4 so this looks like something I would enjoy too.

Just learnt we've been playing wrong! We assumed that each player had 8 pieces of the same colour... but no... we have access to all 16 pieces. This changes everything.

[Dizzula]

Hey Rodney, you forgot to leave links to other games by the same company! This looks great and would go excellently on my coffee table!

[doylay]

Have you ever tried Pentago? It's a fantastic game.

I click for the epic box flip, stay for the rules explanation
