Quarters

Amstrad CPC · 1987 · WOR

QUARTERS is a board game played on a 9 x 8 grid using square dominoes. The tiles are split into quarters across their diagonals. Each quarter is randomly picked out in one of 4 colours. With the new design we get 70 possibilities using only the numbers 1 to 4! We could draw these dominoes on the screen showing spots or numbers - but there is an alternative. Instead of printing the number on each quarter we can use it to produce a colour. This gives us squares which can show upto 4 different colours. The tile in play is displayed above the board and can be rotated about its centre using the R key while you decide the most valuable location to place it. When positioning the tile, just as with ordinary dominoes when like numbers must match, so in Quarters, colours should match on touching edges.
