Quadrio

In the two-player game Quadrio, players compete to be the first to place four discs in a row but its tricky to do so since the discs can move to new locations as players rotate the plastic device that serves as the playing area.

The playing field is a 44 grid thats overlaid with troughs on each side of it, with troughs on opposite sides of the field running perpendicular to one another. On a turn, a player slides one of their discs into a trough. Thats it! Before or after inserting a disc, a player can hold the device by any of the four corners and turn it to look at either side. When a player grabs a different corner and holds the device by it, discs inside might slide in their troughs to new positions. Have you created a four-in-a-row of your discs (on one or a combination of both sides of the playing area) after taking your turn? If so, you win!

Games of Quadrio can be quick as its hard to keep an eye on all eight possible orientations of the device. Thus, the publisher recommends playing multiple rounds, such as seeing who can first win three games out of five.

Quadrio is a two-player strategy game for ages 8 and up. Average games last just 10 minutes.
