Quarto | Wooden Strategy Board Game for Adults and Families | Ages 8+ | 2 Players | 15 Minutes

A friend introduced me to this game and I really enjoyed it. Bought so my family could play and they loved it. Quick, fun game.

This is the third time I've bought this game as a gift because it's beautifully made, lovely to play and look at, and easy to learn.

Fun game with an interesting twist. After your move you select the next piece that your opponent will place on the board. The game comes with two colors of wooden game pieces. There are multiple sizes and shapes and some have hollow centers. The object is to get four in a row of a set with similar attributes. ie: all same shape, same color, all have holes, all are solid, all same height. You have to be aware of where you might want to place and item as well as thinking about which piece you will select for your opponent. If you like games like Gobblet, Othello, or even tic tac toe, you will enjoy this game.The board is heavy and made of wood. The surface is painted with a rough, sand paper like paint and the design is routed into the wood. It looks very nice. It is about 10 inches square and 3/8 thick. (did not measure, just approximate) Very, very sturdy and professional looking. There are soft feet/pads on the bottom to prevent sliding on or scratching the surface it sets on. The pieces store in a draw string back. The bag is nothing fancy, but useful to keep pieces organized if you like to store your games out of the box on a shelf.The pieces are made of a fairly hard wood. I can not leave a mark on them with my fingernail. There are two colors. One set is dark cherry or mahogany colored and the other a blonde color of wood. There are not pads on the feet but that might cause them to be less stable on the board. They are about 2 1/2 tall. (did not measure) The pieces are heavy enough and large enough and stable enough that young hands or slightly unsteady hands should still be able to place them on the board easily. Could work for an independent living or nursing home setting.This is an item that I would purchase again and would also give as a gift. It is not a super high end, luxury, deluxe game, but it looks nice setting on our pub table and not only does it look nice and interesting, it is fun for everyone to play. The game play is not intimidating or frustrating so people are willing to give it a try and end up enjoying it.

This game is so quick to learn and can be played in 5-15 minutes. Everyone in our family is enjoying it. Highly recommend!

Great brain exercise! Have fun! Smile :)

Great game for all ages!

I had read some of the other reviews, one of which mentioned missing a piece; actually having two of the same piece, which causes a problem. I was missing two pieces! It was great that Amazon did an immediate replacement shipment pending my return, but this is not some thing I would send us a gift, because you can never tell whether all the pieces will be there.The game itself seems to be rather fun; we have yet to play it with the grandchildren, as the game we had on hand was missing pieces….

This game is great. You can learn the rules in 2 minutes and start playing. It is lightweight so it is great for traveling.
