# **Quarto One-Page Rules Summary**
## **Objective**
Be the first player to create a line of **four pieces that share at least one common attribute**.
## **Components**
* **4×4 board**
* **16 unique pieces**, each defined by four attributes:
* **Color:** light / dark
* **Shape:** square / round
* **Height:** tall / short
* **Top:** solid / hollow
Every combination exists exactly once.
---
## **Gameplay Overview**
### 1. **Setup**
* Place the empty board between players.
* All 16 pieces are available off the board.
### 2. **Turn Structure**
Unlike most games, **you do not choose your own piece**.
A turn consists of two actions:
1. **Your opponent chooses a piece** and gives it to you.
2. **You must place that piece** on any empty board space.
After placing the piece:
* If you formed a winning line → **declare “Quarto!”** and win.
* If not, choose a piece for your opponents next turn.
Players alternate.
---
## **Winning**
Immediately after placing a piece, you win if you complete **a line of four pieces** (row, column, or diagonal) with **any one shared attribute**, such as:
* All tall
* All round
* All dark
* All solid
* Or any other single attribute shared by all four pieces.
### Important:
* A winning line only counts **when the piece is placed**, not when a piece is handed to a player.
---
## **Draw**
If all 16 pieces are placed and no winning line exists → the game is a **draw**.
---
## **Optional Variant: “Quarto+”**
After receiving a piece, a player may instead **reject it and choose any other available piece** to place, but may only do this **once per game**.
