About this game

This is a 2-player board game, somewhat similar to a 4x4 Tic-Tac-Toe game, where each player controls 8 unique tokens in their own color. Take turns placing a token on the grid to be the first to match 4 in a row on color, format (bold vs underline), letter (A vs B) or case (upper vs lower).

This game was inspired by a combination of Sir Francis Bacon and Tic-Tac-Toe, with the goal of a game that is quick and interesting, but with surprising depth.

You can play locally with your friends in pass-and-play mode or progress through 9 levels of CPU difficulty. There are also two levels of randomly-generated puzzles available (level 5+ CPU has you win in two moves instead of one).

Once you've trained your eye to recognize matching tokens in each attribute, learn to recognize critical moves (double attacks, chain attacks, traps) that guarantee your victory without relying on simple mistakes from your opponent.

Check the settings for options to modify appearance and/or gameplay to suit your tastes.
