Say goodbye to cardboard. Today, board games are made of precious woods only – at least that’s the case with the board games produced by the Munich publishing house intellego holzspiele. QUADLINO is a perfect example for this. At the least, this strategy game is as exiting as backgammon and checkers but is a lot more impressive than its fragile counterparts, which are mostly made of cardboard. Lines, milled into the board, carved-out token slots and purist, easy-to-grip cylindrical tokens, give a unique look and feel to the game. You can get the game in two variants: One variant is made from birch wood with colored wooden tokens whereas the other features a beech wooden board with tokens made from maple and walnut.

Each game is manufactured from select woods from Germany. The good thing is that each tree looks different and holds its own story of growth and life. These individual characteristics of a tree’s life are reflected in the unique grain of the wood. Therefore each wooden game board is inimitable in its particular material characteristics. But despite all individuality, all games by intellego holzspiele have to meet our high quality and safety standards before being delivered.

However, QUADLINO is not only about design and quality. The game also fascinates due to its simple and logical play. The game has only one rule: Who succeeds in getting four tokens in a row, wins the game. That’s perfect, particularly for the young. You can challenge your opponents just about anywhere. Be it at the kitchen table, in the car or on a train – due to the elaborate slots, the tokens cannot slip.

And players who can’t do without their beloved classics can easily turn around the board in order to play good old NINE MEN’S MORRIS. However, in a modern wave-design.
