Another in this series is Quadtria. This two-player game can be over in 5 minutes if you aren't alert to your opponent's moves. The wooden board has four square quads which are subdivided into triangles, and 5 points within each in which wooden balls can be placed. There are connecting passages that allow movement of the balls within quads as well as to other quads. Players start with 5 balls in quads in opposite corners of the board. The goal is simple - be the first to form a new triangle of 3 balls within any quad. You are restricted from doing this in your starting quad until all of your balls have been cleared from it. We played three games and seemed to use more strategy in each one, as the games went a bit longer, but not over 10 minutes. This is a nice filler for 2 players and is another beautiful game for a coffee table or desk at work. We rated it a 7. Try it - you'll like it.
