| Quad is a new game and the goal is to achieve four-in-a-row; a quad (the word 'quad,' or 'quadruplet,' means "a combination of four of a kind"). It is played on a chess/checkers board, alternatively the smallest Go board, when the 8x8 cells are used. Diagonals don't count. Counters are dropped on the board, one by one. White must always drop the second counter on the rim (to reduce first-move advantage). After all counters have been dropped, they can move one step orthogonally in all directions. An enemy counter is captured by surrounding it with two of one's own, either horizontally or vertically (so called interception-capture). Capture is not mandatory. Similar to Go-Moku, 'overlines' don't count (i.e., 5-in-a-row, or more). Stalemating or reducing enemy stones to zero also count as win, but this occurs very seldom. Three-times repetition of a position, with the same player to move, results in a draw. |
