Quatro! is a more modern adaptation of the wildly popular board game Quarto, invented by Swiss mathematician Blaise Müller.
The aim of the game is to get four pieces in a row that all have at least one property in common. In this case, one reaches a Quatro.
This may seem simple, but once you dive into the challenging world of Quatro, you will find that timing is crucial, attention is critical and strategy is key!

For the first move there are 16 possibilities. In the next move this piece can be put on 16 places and one of the remaining 15 pieces can be chosen. An upper limit for the total search space is thus 16. (16.15).(15.14). … . (2.1).1 = (16!)2 = 4.4e26 (this number has a lot of zeros!).
A complete check of the board would take a 500 MHz computer 280 billion years.
Like a good old boardgame
Play against an immensely smart computer (that is also adjustable to dummy-level), against a friend on the same device or against your friends elsewhere via Game Center, and become a Quatro-master.
What we're currently working on are the multiple themes (like Space theme, Sushi theme and more), a play-reward system and of course crazy game variations such as 5x5 boards!
