Description

Kwintie is a strategical building game for 2 players. The objective of the game is to build a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row of 5 square blocks.

The blocks that the players play with have the dimensions of 1 x 1 x 2. The blocks must be placed on a board consisting of a single row of 9 squares, or on top of one another. Blocks from one colour may not touch with their 1 x 1 sides (in other words, two pieces of one colour may not form a vertical or horizontal row that is four cubes long). The first player to get 5 in a Row is the winner. If a player cannot move anymore, then he loses. For balancing purposes, the first move of the first player may not be touch the center field.
