Quarto Classic is an excellent strategic and educational game designed for children and adults aged 8 and up. This board game rightfully holds a top spot among abstract games and is one of the most awarded games in the world.

The goal of the game is to create a line of four pieces—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—where the pieces share at least one common attribute. Each of the 16 pieces in the game has four attributes: height (tall or short), color (light or dark), shape (square or round), and top (with a hole or without a hole). Your task is to align four pieces that share at least one of these attributes.
However, the challenge lies in the fact that all pieces are shared, and your opponent chooses the piece you must place on the board. This means you must carefully consider which pieces you give to your opponent to avoid enabling their victory. This unique mechanic makes the game highly strategic and dynamic.
