Quarto | Mensa Select Winner | Wooden Abstract Strategy Board Game for Kids and Adults Family Game Night Favorite | Learn to Play in Less Than 1 Minute | Ages 8+ | 2 Players | 15 Min

Sturdy box, sturdy pieces, easy rules that even my toddler (3 almost 4yo) was able to pick up (and promptly reject & substitute his own rules). The older kids (9&11) love the quick games & trying to out strategize their dad. Pieces survived abduction by puppy & not fall apart quickly. Great purchase, it might be a little pricey but it’s worth it! Quick delivery & no missing pieces. Fun for everyone.

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 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!

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.

Strategic game

The games great this was my second copy of the game. I play it a bunch. This game is only for two people or maybe a group of four. I don't believe you'll learn all that much from the game. Except maybe a little bit about strategy. You need to be able to think out a few moves ahead if possible. And paying attention to the pieces that have not been played, is also critical. It's fun when you realize that your opponent is fixated on only one or two of the four features, because that's when you can really trick them into giving you the right pieces. It's a simple game that works every-time. It's durable because all the pieces are made of wood and don't have very detailed features. It even looks nice on a coffee table.

yes.
