Editorial Review
Winner of a stack of international awards, Quarto! Classic requires eagle eyes and scheming minds. The first of two players selects one of 16 different wooden playing pieces, each with four physical traits (light or dark, round or square, tall or short, solid or hollow) and gives it to the opponent. That player places the piece on any circle on the lovely, 10-by-10-inch, dark wood board, and then chooses another piece to give to the first player, who places it anywhere on the board. The object is to establish--or be the first to notice--a line of four pieces with at least one common characteristic, and call "Quarto!" With variations for beginning or advanced players, and countless playable combinations, this fun and challenging game is indeed a classic. --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
Quarto!-one of the world's most award-winning games! Each of the 16 pieces has 4 different attributes. The aim is to line up 4 pieces that share the same attribute (round or square; light or dark; tall or short; solid or hollow). The problem is you can't choose which piece you're going to play - your opponent chooses for you. Contents: one board, 16 wooden pieces. For 2 players ages 6 and up.

Strategy Plus! August 14, 2008
We had a family tournament with this game. Onlookers enjoyed the game as much as the 2 players competing. As an onlooker, my sister could not help but call out the next play! We loved how you had to choose your opponent's play piece -this added so much to the game. I gave my first game to my great niece and immediately ordered another for my family!
A real test of strategy December 23, 2007
This is an addictive game...for all ages! My third- sixth-grade students run impromptu tournaments, and my husband's high-school mathematics students play after completing their work. One great feature is that a game can be played quickly...and will always attract an audience. We keep a board set up on a coffee table at home as well--you never know when you might have those few extra minutes! Buy this game.
A fun board game September 23, 2007
This game will have something familiar to players of "Set", namely, looking for groups of pieces that have any of several properties in common. But the fact that each player is selecting pieces for their opponent to play will probably lead even seasoned gamers into novel strategizing. Quite fun. And as a board game the pieces have a nice, elegant look and feel to them.
Quarto is a fun game! March 28, 2007
I love teaching my friends this game! It is for two players and you have to pay attention to four different variables. It is a simple concept, but challenging. I like the wood pieces - it's not your average board game.
A quick and challenging game for all ages March 27, 2007
We purchased this game on a short family vacation and loved it. The basic concept is simple enough for our 6 year old to play, yet the endless variations make it fun and challenging for older kids and adults.
It takes only about 10 minutes to play, which makes it easy to fit in a quick game any time (or to hold multi-game "tournaments"). We really enjoy this game and have purchased several to give as gifts to other families.
