QUARTETTO

Copyright (c) 2008 Arty Sandler

The game is played on a 8x8 square. The board starts at the following position:

  • TURN - Each player moves a friendly stone sliding it over an orthogonal line of empty cells (like a chess Rook, with no jumps).
  • GOAL - Wins the player that makes a square pattern with his four stones (as the square's vertices), however, the smallest bounding box containing the cells should be at least 5x5.
 
An example

This is a winning pattern for Black, because they form a square with a bounding box of size 6x6.

In this case, however, White's bounding box is not big enough (just 3x3), so the game must continue.
