QUARTINO is just for you! This dynamic and clever game from Czech author Petr Doubek shall satisfy your gaming needs…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQUARTINO is an original abstract strategy game with simple rules. It is full of unexpected turns and the suspense lasts until the very last turn. Be the first to clear your hand by creating the right pattern on the board and you’re the winner. Easy, right? However, be aware your opponents all have the same goal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQUARTINO rewards forward thinking, spatial awareness, and sustained focus. However, there is just enough oportunities to allow for unexpected twists and keep players on their toes!\u003cbr\u003e Design of the game is very elegant and the game uses only natural materials. The game revolves around a laser-cut wooden board, complemented with wooden stands and wooden stones of four different colors. The game also contains 24 QUARTINO cards, each with a unique combination of four colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to play QUARTINO? \u003cbr\u003eEach player draws four QUARTINO cards and places them secretly in his card stand. Each card contains a unique combination of four colors. Players take turns, and in each turn they place one stone of their choice on the game board. They try to complete one of their QUARTINO cards, i.e. create a color combination matching one of their cards. Game stones can be placed on top of each other. For the completion of QUARTINO, only the top stones count.\u003cbr\u003eIf a player completes a QUARTINO on the game board, he shows the card and removes all stones from the QUARTINO from the game board. Then she plays again, i.e. places a new stone.\u003cbr\u003eWhoever completes all his QUARTINO cards first, wins the game.\u003cbr\u003eBefore each player´s turn, two special rules can come to play:\u003cbr\u003eIf there are 4 or more stones of the same color on the board (all stones, not just top stones), the player can say “color” and place an additional stone.\u003cbr\u003eif there are 4 or more stones of any color on top of each other on the board, the player needs to remove all the stones in such columns. The player can then place an additional stone.\u003cbr\u003e Team version of the game\u003cbr\u003eQUARTINO is a game for 2 to 4 players. Play the first few games in two only, then after understanding of optimal strategy is possible to play with more players. When playing with 4 players, it is possible to play a team version too, which opens new strategic options.\u003cbr\u003eIn this version, each two players play as a team. Each player draws 2 cards, and the two players on the team sit next to each other, so that they can see each other´s cards.\u003cbr\u003ePlayers take turns so that no two players from the same team play after each other (so-called “zig-zag”).\u003cbr\u003eDuring his turn each player places stones and plays QUARTINO cards. He can complete only his own QUARTINO cards. After she placed both cards, she continues playing and tries to help her teammate.\u003cbr\u003eThe team, which completes all their QUARTINO cards first, wins the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Djeco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32604733145139,"sku":"DJ08544","price":17.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5686215.jpg?v=1604883590","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/quartino","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
