Quarturn is a prototype game in which players compete to place four consecutive beads on a constantly rotating board.

I invented Quarturn to confront my own "analysis paralysis" or over-thinking a strategy to the point of inaction. In Quarturn, all players take their turns simultaneously and must move in a syncopated fashion.

A completed game is evocative of a colorful beaded crown.
