## **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 opponent’s 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**.
