	Description Edit \| History

Quads is a tile placement game for two players. The tiles have different combinations of colors (either black or silver) or lines (parallel or perpendicular to the tile edge) at each of their four edges. Players take turns placing a tile so that the colors or lines on each edge match that of adjacent tiles. The player who stops his or her opponent from being able to place a tile wins.
