Nearly 4 million combinations of "opening" the game

The new board game classic. A classic because, like in chess or draughts, it does not involve a random factor, such as a dice throw. The game is based on a knight move derived from chess, and it is played on a 100-square board. 

In the presented computer version of QUADRIGA, there is one player, the other three being simulated by the computer. Each player moves one knight in previously randomized order.

Unlike other board games, where the starting point of the game or the take-off place of putting your chessmen or pieces is normally set, in QUADRIGA, the take-off square of placing the chessmen is absolutely arbitrary. The game board has 100 squares and we are free to place four chessmen (knights) on any of them one by one.

At the very moment of starting the game, each play will be practically unrepeatable because there are 3,921,255 possibilities of placing the four chessmen on the 100 square board - there is no mistake, there are nearly 4 million combinations of "opening" the game, which are additionally multiplied up to a few dozen million combinations by the knight's way of moving, only in a couple of turns.

QUADRIGA is a classic game. It's non-violent and does not require destroying the opponent through eliminating their pawns in order to win. The key to victory in our game is intelligence, logical thinking and prediction of the  opponents' moves. One does not play "against" the others; victory is determined by the number of points scored.

Thanks to its clear, unambiguous and fair rules, QUADRIGA can be recommended even for very young children without reservations.

The main condition for our enterprise to succeed is wide distribution of the QUADRIGA game, therefore we have concluded, that the foremost promotional activity be development of the game's fan club under the name International Players' Club Quadriga (abbreviated as IPC Quadriga)carried out by the Board of the ProCorde Foundation.
