About the game
What you do in a play session
Just4Fun is a card and strategy game where you need to think fast and plan your moves to conquer four squares in a row on the board. Each player has four cards numbered from 1 to 19, and you can play one to four cards to place a piece on the board. The board is a 6x6 grid with numbers arranged in a non-obvious way, which adds an extra layer of challenge. The goal is to get four pieces in a row, whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. But be careful! A square is only safe if you have two more pieces than any other player. If no one gets four in a row in 20 turns, the game ends and the player with the most points wins. It's a quick and fun game that mixes strategy, math, and a bit of luck.
