Easy to learn, deceptively strategic. Simply try to get your four pieces in a row before your opponent. Designed to be very small and portable, this is the perfect game when on the road. Game play is very straightforward. Each player takes turns placing a piece on board in an attempt to have their 4 pieces in a straight line. If, after initial placement no one is winning, then each player takes turn moving their pieces along any lines. This creates quite a bit of strategy as each player must strike a balance between trying to get their 4 in a row, or stopping their opponent from doing so. Quick and easy to setup and play, the game is suitable for anyone ages 7 or older. It is a pure strategy game like chess, meaning that there is no chance involved in the game.
