About the game
Get ready for a challenge that's pure moving art! In Four Corners, you're not just playing a game, you're unraveling a dynamic puzzle where every move matters. Each round, you'll shift, twist, and flip the tiles on the board, which features a clever design allowing these maneuvers without disturbing the rest. The goal? To achieve your secret missions, which might involve forming sequences of identical images or completing a picture using the corners of four tiles. And the best part: no one has the same goal! Everyone has their own secret objectives, making each game a unique race full of twists. Keep an eye on what others are doing, as they're also shaping the board to meet their own goals. The first player to nail three objectives wins! It's a fast-paced game with easy-to-grasp rules, but it demands solid strategic thinking. Perfect for those who enjoy an abstract challenge and watching the board transform with each play. It even comes in two themed versions, Kaleidoscope and Galaxy, to add some style. Ideal for casual games that still make you think a bit, or for those who appreciate a good solo experience.
