Game Overview

Quatrix combines line-building and area control strategy with a forcing mechanic. Every move restricts the opponent's freedom of action.

OR

  • You occupy (capture) 4 squares of the same color (e.g., 4x Blue) with your pieces.

Place a piece on an empty cell. The symbol on your piece dictates the opponent's mandatory next move:

  • X Symbol: The opponent must place their next piece on a cell in a diagonal line from your piece.
  • Square Symbol (□): The opponent must place their next piece on a cell in an orthogonal line (horizontal/vertical).
  • Free Choice: If all cells in the required directions are occupied, the opponent may place their piece anywhere on an empty cell.
