About the game
What you do in a play session
Vino Square is a two-player abstract strategy game where the goal is to score more points than your opponent by creating 2×2 or 3×3 patterns. Each player has three types of pieces: Fino, Mino, and Vino, each with unique shapes and functions. The board is a 10×10 grid with four central squares marked. The game starts with the first player placing a Fino in the center, occupying three of the four central squares. Players take turns following the "Fino-Mino-Vino-Fly" sequence, where they must place corresponding pieces or move pieces according to the rules. During the game, it is forbidden to place pieces adjacent to existing ones, except in the Vino phase, where it is possible to move a Mino before placing a Vino. At the end, points are calculated by summing the occupied squares and bonuses for formed patterns. The game can have a second round with reversed turn order, and the winner is the one with the highest total score.
