Quads: Strategy Board Game

Don't hand them the win

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Quads is a two-player abstract strategy game with a twist: you don't choose your own piece — your opponent hands it to you. Every one of the 16 pieces is unique across four traits: big or small, dark or light, round or square, solid or hollow. Complete a row, column, or diagonal that shares just one of those traits and you win — but you never place a piece you picked yourself. The tension is entirely in what you hand over, and in noticing the trap the moment before you walk into it. FIVE LEVELS OF COMPUTER OPPONENT From Rookie (plays it safe) to Grandmaster (searches deep, plays the endgame near-perfectly), climb through five AI difficulties. Beat the Master to unlock Grandmaster. PASS & PLAY No account, no wifi, no wait — hand the phone to a friend and play a full match on one device. PROGRESSION THAT MEANS SOMETHING Earn XP for every win, level up, and unlock achievements for streaks, speed wins, trait mastery, and beating higher difficulties. MAKE IT YOURS Three board themes — warm Wood, glowing Neon, and minimal Zen — plus haptics and an optional hint that warns you when a line is one move from completion. No sign-up. No timers. No pressure to spend. Just a clean, replayable game of "give them the piece they can't use."
