NEWS: Quartex review in Casual Game Insider magazine
Ready to enter the Quartex?
Quartex is a great new abstract strategy tile game for the whole family. If you like pattern building puzzle games, this is the game for you.
Play your tiles by matching and placing them beside other tiles already in play. If your tile completes a four-corner shape, you earn a point token of that color.
But remember – as the number of tokens collected increases, their value decreases. Mind-bending or what?
Because players decide where tiles are placed, the shape of every game of Quartex is unique! If you’re ready to outsmart the competition in this challenging game of shape-building, grab a few friends and enter the Quartex!
Quartex is the second title in CSE’s line of strategic, easy-to-learn, family-oriented games developed by Toronto-native Tim W.K. Brown.
