Quantik

So good based on simple rules but choices are terrible every turn. Same taste as Quarto

¡Me encanta! Seguramente, si has jugado mucho y estás atento juegues casi en automático, porque es poco más que un cuatro en raya vitaminado, ¿pero para mí que soy idiota y cada vez que juego es como la primera vez? Me FLIPA el momento de estar pensando en todas las posibilidades, y en intentar por todos los medios no liarla y dejarle la partida en bandeja a tu oponente. Planteándome seriamente imprimirme una versión de bolsillo para poder llevarla a todas partes POR SI ACASO.

I think this is unjustly dismissed by people. Notice that some say it is potentially broken because moves can be "calculated," and others are saying it's too complex to know what to do. Maybe the reality lies in the middle. I think It's quite clever and feels like a brother of Quarto, though different enough to be worth playing. There are various, surprising ways to trap and to be trapped yourself. If I'm in the mood to play an n-in-a-row game, then I'd be up for Quantik.

Yet another abstract strategy winner from Gigamic with the usual high production values.

Controversially probably my favourite in the Gigamic Classic Range. Easily the quickest and the lightest but far and away the one I've played the most (another play-log-fail casualty) as it's always with us at the pub alongside Tatsu these days. Simple and engaging fun that never becomes taxing or overly "competitive". Perfect accompaniment to a conversation over a beer or two.
