Quarto — Wooden Abstract Strategy Game

Quarto is one of the most celebrated abstract strategy games ever produced, invented by Swiss mathematician Blaise Muller and published by Gigamic. With deceptively simple rules and an unforgettable twist, it has earned its place as a true modern classic of the genre, recognized as a Mensa Select Winner for its excellent educational aspects, high-quality production, elegant rules, and deep strategic possibilities.

The game is played on a 4x4 board with 16 unique wooden pieces, each carrying four distinct, dichotomous attributes: tall or short, black or white, square or round, and hollow or solid. The object is simple to state: be the first to place a piece that completes a row, column, or diagonal of four pieces sharing at least one common attribute, regardless of which attribute it is. Many editions also include a variant win condition through a 2x2 square block.

What elevates Quarto from a clever puzzle into a genuine mental battle is its signature twist: you don't choose your own piece to play. Instead, your opponent selects which piece you must place on the board each turn, and you do the same for them. This single mechanic transforms what looks like a glorified tic-tac-toe into a game that can easily turn into a real brain burner, rewarding players who can think several moves ahead on multiple levels simultaneously, since giving your opponent the "wrong" piece could hand them the win, while giving them the "safe" piece might still set up your own victory next turn.

Quarto is famous for being learnable in well under a minute, yet endlessly replayable thanks to the depth hidden within its sixteen pieces and sixteen squares. Quarto falls squarely into Gigamic's signature range of fast-playing, easy-to-learn, accessible, and beautifully made abstract strategy games. Quality wooden construction throughout means the pieces and board hold up to repeated play and look great left out on a table between sessions. Full instructions are included in a wide range of languages, including English, French, Arabic, Spanish, and dozens more, making the game accessible to a broad international audience.

For Lebanese strategy game enthusiasts, families, and anyone who enjoys a quick but genuinely demanding head-to-head game, Quarto remains one of the smartest, most elegant two-player games available — easy to teach in seconds, but capable of testing even experienced players for years.

Better pricing than BestBuy’s Geek Squad extended warranty!
Asurion is on of the best extended warranty put there! bar none! I used to buy only from BestBuy because of their Geek Squad extended warranty. But it’s way more expensive compared to Asurion. although with Asurion they require so much paper work and pictures first.

They refunded the amount. We just had to send it to them 2 times before they did.
We bought a printer and it was having issues from the beginning. We thought at first it had to do with the WIFI, so we didn't say anything, but then more things were going wrong. I talked to the manufacturer, who said it needed to be replaced but we had to go through Asurion. Asurion "fixed" it and sent it back but we had our doubts. Sure enough, it was within the same month we were sending it in again. This time they just gave us an amazon gift card for the entire amount we had paid. Thankful for the warranty. They ultimately did the right thing, I just wish we could have gotten it done faster.

Asurion worked as intended.
After three years, my monitor failed. Asurion paid to send it to a repair center. I didn't save the box the monitor came in, and paid $23 to have it packaged up. They kept me informed of the various steps, such as en route, arrived, testing, and repair started. They discovered it could not economically be repaired and refunded my purchase price. The entire process from me telling them it was broken until the refund took 5 days. I am well satisfied with the service.
