Quarto Mini is an excellent strategic-educational game for both children and adults aged 8 and up.

The board game Quarto Mini rightfully ranks at the top of abstract games and is one of the most awarded games in the world.
The goal of this fascinating strategic board game is to create a line of 4 elements, either in a straight line or diagonally, but with the condition that these elements (pieces) share at least one common attribute. Each of the 16 pieces in the game has its own attributes. These can include height (as there are pieces in two different heights), shape (since there are two shapes), color (light and dark pieces), or whether the pieces have a hole at the top or not. There are a total of 8 different attributes, and your task is to create a line that shares at least one of these as a common feature.
It may sound simple, but, as always in games like this, there's a twist. The problem lies in the fact that all pieces are shared, and on your turn, the opponent chooses which piece you will play. This means that winning relies on your opponent overlooking one of the combinations and handing you the piece that will secure your victory. It’s a clever, somewhat ruthless concept, but there’s a reason this game has over 17 international awards.

The board game Quarto Mini also has a larger (home) version, Quarto Classic, which is slightly more convenient for playing, especially for older individuals. Both versions of the game are made from solid wood, ensuring that, alongside the fun gameplay, the game will last for many years to come...
