RULES:
The object of this 2 player game is to get 4 in a row of pieces with matching characteristics horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The piece characteristics are: square or round, tall or short, solid or hollow, dark or light. Layout the board and place all the pieces next to it. Pick a player to go first, then turns alternate.

On your turn pick one of the pieces not on the board and give it to your opponent. Your opponent must now place that piece anywhere on the board, if they complete a 4 in a row by matching a common characteristic, then they say “Quarto” and win. If not, then you end your turn and they go, picking a piece for you to play.

You are allowed to match with any piece on the board, even if your opponent placed it. It is okay if more than 1 characteristic is in common. You must call “quarto” in order to win. If you fail to do so, then the next player may call “quarto” on their turn and win. Pieces on the board may not be moved. If all the pieces are placed and there is no winner, then it is a draw.

The version I have is much older, but with an added win condition. Along with four in a row you can also have a four block square (2x2) Quatro as well. Very fun game and very under rated.

This is quite an interesting chess variant, but is en passant allowed?

Great! It's Tic Tac Toe, but actually playable without drawing every game.

My dad actually hand crafted a game of this and called it quatro instead of quarto. Amazing game and one I still play.

Any chance we might get a "How to play" on Kickstarter games like "Northgard: Uncharted Lands"?

Looks like a good game. It should be more popular. And also I would like variations of that game if possible.

Neat, it’s like higher level tic-tac-toe

Picking a piece for your opponent is an interesting mechanic

i remember playing this game on msn messanger like 17 years ago lol

[redchan]

is this a solved game with either a winning/drawing strategy?

[grubbygeorge]

Does this lean towards draws if both players are good?

[ordonineonline]

Seems like tick tack toe Uno! but with 4 layers of complexity and they mispelled Quattro! Looks interesting
