Watch “"The !Z¡@#!!*' Game!" — That's not a typographical error. Better to call it Quaro or Counter Point.,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

Quaro is an abstract alignment game for 2 to 4 players invented in the 1970s by Alexander Randolph. Our Kickstarter campaign funded of November 2, 2024, to get this game (and 6 others by Alex Randolph) visit our store https://newventuregames.com/products/quaro. Thanks again to our all of our generous Kickstarter backers for making this possible! The game includes a dozen each of 4 different-colored pieces and a uniquely arranged board of rows and columns. Each player has a 'reserve" of 4 randomly drawn pegs to place on the board per turn. The objective is to form rows of four which contain one peg of each color, thus scoring a point. There are lots of topographical formations to set up in this game, and in some turns you may not score any points as you attempt to set up a cascade of points in a future round. It's a great game, easy to learn, and a lot different at the different player counts. Meanwhile, please visit us at: https://newventuregames.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NewVentureGames More Quaro information can be found at BoardGameGeek.com: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6852/counter-point
