17.4.8 THE GAME OF TESSERA

Tessera is a game you can play against any of Lusternia's denizens, even against Trader Bob! It can also be played player-against-player.

The game is played on a vertical board with 7 columns and rows. The rules are very simple. Players take turns dropping tiles at the top of a column. The tile falls to the bottom. The first player to get four of his tiles in a row wins. This can be vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
 
To play, you must have a Tessera board.
 
The game's syntax are as follows:
