Overview
What ABG knows about this game
The aim is to strategically place cubes in your colour to create a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of 4. 4Mation is played using the cube tray inside the box. Each player takes all the cubes of one colour. The players take turns to play one of their cubes. Important: Each cube can only be placed in a space that is adjacent (othogonally or diagonally) to the last cube, your opponent played! The game ends as soon as one player has at least 4 cubes in their colour in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. That player is the winner. If neither player is able to complete a row of 4, the game ends in a draw. —description from the publisher
