Q-Bits is played with 16 tiles divided into sections of two colors. (These are similar if not identical to Pantactic Squares.) Players get dealt tiles and take turns placing one tile at a time on the board. Each tile is scored as it is placed based on its pattern and orientation; one side of the board is designated the "top" and tiles are read from that direction. In one version of the game tiles must be placed so that colors match. In another they must be placed so that they do not match. A solitaire game is also provided
