Description

Four in a Square is a fast-paced and simple game that's all about strategic thinking. Designed by Koby Ben-Aroush and published in 2012, this abstract strategy game is perfect for two players looking for a quick challenge. The goal is easy to understand: be the first to form a 2x2 square with four balls of your color. But don't let the simplicity fool you - it's not as easy as it sounds. On each turn, you'll place a ball of your color in an empty spot on the board, and then slide a tile to try and get four of your color in a square. With a playtime of just 15 minutes, Four in a Square is a great game to fit into a busy schedule. The rules can be explained quickly, making it accessible to new players, but the game itself requires strategic thinking and planning ahead. As you try to outmaneuver your opponent, you'll need to think carefully about each move and how it will affect the board. Will you be able to outsmart your opponent and form a square first, or will they beat you to it? With its simple yet challenging gameplay, Four in a Square is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and engaging abstract strategy game.
