Quattuor Reges

Quattuor Reges is a board game for 2 players. It plays in 20–45 minutes and is meant for ages 9 and up.

Strategic confrontation. Each player controls 16 pieces representing one color of a 32-card deck, with pieces of different values and complementary powers. All pieces move two squares, while some small cards move farther and have special capture rules. Kings, Queens, and Jacks form a circular capture relationship; the 10, 9, 8, and 7 follow a hierarchy, while the Ace captures the figures. Victory comes from reaching the opponent’s last rank with a King, Queen, or Ace.
