The objective: align 4 pieces that have at least one common characteristic. But don't think you'll play the ones you want: your opponent chooses for you!
The sixteen pieces of the game, all different, each have 4 distinct characteristics: tall or short, round or square, light or dark, solid or hollow. Each player in turn chooses and gives a piece to the opponent, who must play it on an empty square. The winner is the one who, with a received piece, creates an alignment of 4 pieces having at least one common characteristic and announces: "QUARTO!".
