Game Overview

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

Goal of the Game (Instant Win)

You win the game immediately if:

• You form a continuous line of 4 of your color (horizontal, vertical, diagonal).

OR

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

Gameplay

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.

Pro Tips

Be careful to not let your opponent capture quickly 3 same colors !

Keep a balance between your X and □ pieces but force your opponent to spend one of the kind.
