Quarto — Wooden Abstract Strategy Game

Quarto is one of the most celebrated abstract strategy games ever produced, invented by Swiss mathematician Blaise Muller and published by Gigamic. With deceptively simple rules and an unforgettable twist, it has earned its place as a true modern classic of the genre, recognized as a Mensa Select Winner for its excellent educational aspects, high-quality production, elegant rules, and deep strategic possibilities.

The game is played on a 4x4 board with 16 unique wooden pieces, each carrying four distinct, dichotomous attributes: tall or short, black or white, square or round, and hollow or solid. The object is simple to state: be the first to place a piece that completes a row, column, or diagonal of four pieces sharing at least one common attribute, regardless of which attribute it is. Many editions also include a variant win condition through a 2x2 square block.

What elevates Quarto from a clever puzzle into a genuine mental battle is its signature twist: you don't choose your own piece to play. Instead, your opponent selects which piece you must place on the board each turn, and you do the same for them. This single mechanic transforms what looks like a glorified tic-tac-toe into a game that can easily turn into a real brain burner, rewarding players who can think several moves ahead on multiple levels simultaneously, since giving your opponent the "wrong" piece could hand them the win, while giving them the "safe" piece might still set up your own victory next turn.

Quarto is famous for being learnable in well under a minute, yet endlessly replayable thanks to the depth hidden within its sixteen pieces and sixteen squares. Quarto falls squarely into Gigamic's signature range of fast-playing, easy-to-learn, accessible, and beautifully made abstract strategy games. Quality wooden construction throughout means the pieces and board hold up to repeated play and look great left out on a table between sessions. Full instructions are included in a wide range of languages, including English, French, Arabic, Spanish, and dozens more, making the game accessible to a broad international audience.

For Lebanese strategy game enthusiasts, families, and anyone who enjoys a quick but genuinely demanding head-to-head game, Quarto remains one of the smartest, most elegant two-player games available — easy to teach in seconds, but capable of testing even experienced players for years.

Perfect if you're anything like me
Color: White, Size: 2 Layer
I have about 20 small jewelry boxes sitting in my closet, stacked up high, threatening to topple over any time I reach over them to grab something else. I don't know what's in those boxes, except that it's jewelry I purchased and liked well enough to keep so that I could wear it again. But since all of the pieces are closed up inside, I almost never wear them because I don't want to dig through all 20 boxes to find the 1 thing I want when I'm already almost late to wherever I'm going. If ANY of that sounds anything like you, you need this jewelry box. Is it the most premium thing you've ever seen? No, but does it have a lot of storage space for a pretty compact form factor and hold a ton of stuff? Yes, it totally does. And is the price super reasonable? Yes, it is. And if you kind of squint at it, and look through softer eyes, it doesn't really matter that yes, this is kind of cheaply constructed, and the dividers do move around a little bit because they're not anchored to the sides of the trays. I was able to consolidate all of those jewelry boxes down into this one box, and I no longer need to hold my breath when I try to grab something over the top of the pile because I was able to throw. them. all. out! The satisfaction of purging my own personal leaning tower of Pisa was worth the price alone. But onto the nitty gritty details: yes, the see-through part is acrylic and not glass. I'm okay with that because I don't need more breakable things sitting in my closet. Yes, the dividers aren't super stable. I'm okay with that because they work well enough and keep each piece where it belongs. Yes, it's pleather (aka "vegan leather"). I'm okay with that because I don't need cow hide to hold my jewelry to make it feel more precious, especially because most of my jewelry is pretty inexpensive stuff anyways. I don't notice any glaring cosmetic defects when looking at it, aside from the one very squiggly scratch in my acrylic top that doesn't bother me too much, but since it does mean that quality control may be a bit lacking, this gets a very solid 4 stars.
