	Quarto is an abstract board game for 2 players. Players compete to place pieces on a 4x4 grid, to be the first player to make a line of four pieces (or in advanced variant, also a 2x2 square) where all of them share some characteristic. The twist is that the opponent chooses the piece to be played.		== Components ==

	~~== Start of the game ==~~		* Board with a 4×4 grid.
	~~The board is divided into 16 spaces in~~ a ~~4x4~~ grid. ~~There are~~ 16 pieces~~. Each piece can be light~~ or dark~~, tall~~ or short~~, circular~~ or square, and ~~solid~~ or hollow. Each possible combination ~~(for example,~~ light/tall/circular/solid or dark/short/square/hollow~~) appears exactly once. The board starts off empty; all pieces are off the board~~.		* 16 pieces with four characteristics each:
			** Light or dark;
			** Tall or short;
			** Circular or square; and
			** Solid or hollow.
			* Each possible combination of characteristics appears exactly once.
			** ''e.g. light & tall & circular & solid.''
			** ''e.g. dark & short & square & hollow.''

	== ~~Player's turn~~ ==		== Game Play ==
	In a player's turn, two steps happen. First, the '''opponent''' chooses a piece, then the player chooses a space to place the piece. Any piece still off the board may be selected, and any empty space may be selected.

	~~== End of the game ==~~		# The '''opponent''' selects an unplayed piece.
	The ~~game ends when there is a line of four occupied spaces, of which all four pieces in the line share a common trait (for example, all light or all short)~~. The player ~~that~~ places the ~~last~~ piece ~~that forms that line of four (not the opponent who selected it) is the winner~~.		# The player places the selected piece on an empty space.

	In the '''~~advanced~~''' variant~~, a 2x2 area~~ that share a ~~common trait~~ also ~~ends the game, winning for the player that places the piece~~.		== Game End ==

			* The winner is the player who forms a line of four pieces that all share a characteristic.
			** ''i.e. not the opponent who selected the final piece.''
			** ''e.g. all light.''
			** ''e.g. all short.''

			=== Advanced variant ===

			* A 2×2 square of four pieces that all share a characteristic also wins.
