Xquarto is a board game designed for the X windows environment. The game is a two-player game, although for the moment, it is only possible to play against the computer. The board is composed of 4x4 squares and 16 pieces. Each piece has four properties: black or brown, horizontal or vertical, solid or hollow, round or square. This makes up 16 possible combinations and there is exactly one piece for each possibility. Initially the board is empty. Now the two players try to place out pieces in a way that the opponent has to complete a row, column or diagonal with a common property (e.g. all black). This makes the opponent lose. The players do not choose what piece to put but it is rather player 1 who gives a piece to player 2, who then has to place this piece somewhere and choose a piece for player 1 to put somewhere etc. WWW: http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~mattiasj/games/xquarto/
