Quadrim

Four in a row, but the board is a cube. Sixteen squares become sixty-four cells, and the lines run in directions a flat board never had: across, upward, and straight through the diagonals of the cube. Seventy-six ways to win, and most of them are hard to see until somebody has already used one on you. THIRTY-ONE OPPONENTS A ladder that starts with a creature which barely notices a threat and ends with one that plays the game perfectly. Each has a rating, a face and a temperament of its own. Beat one and the next is waiting. The opponent at the top cannot be beaten when it moves first. That is not a boast: four in a row on a 4x4x4 board is a solved game, and it plays from the solution. FIND YOUR LEVEL Your own rating moves with every result, the way a chess rating does. A ten-game trend, a win-loss record against each opponent, and a path that opens up as you earn it.
