Description
Quarta is an original digital board game with a unique generative soundtrack, designed and created by Kennerspiel des Jahres nominated game designer Brett J. Gilbert and musician, software designer and Bloom co-creator Peter Chilvers.
Two players take turns to place tiles, build areas of coloured ‘quarta’s, and claim those areas to control the three colours. Each game lasts only a few minutes, and is played until the tiles fill a 5×5 square. The winner is the player who controls the most colours at the end of the game.
But Quarta is also something more. As you play, Quarta creates a totally unique piece of music – an individual soundtrack for every game – driven by the arrangement of areas built by the players.
"Both challenging to the mind and relaxing at the same time, the perfect form of gaming." AppAdvice

Ratings and Reviews
A thing of beauty
This game looks good, sounds good and is simple yet engaging to play. You can take on an opponent or play solo.
The music generates according to how the game unfolds and always sounds beautiful. You also have the option to just listen.
I do have a problem when I select "listen" after completing a game: I get stuck in listen mode and no "tap anwhere to resume" will get me out. The only solution has been to delete and re-install the app.
I still recommend Quarta, even if - or especially if - you enjoy the Bloom and Trope experience.
Most Excellent
