Rules (jpg file)
The easy-to-learn game of fives. Each person tries to play up to five of their numbered tiles in a straight line, with at least one of their tiles touching one previously placed on the board --- and the numbers of the tiles must equal five or be a multiplication of five in all directions. A BookShelf / BookCase game.

Short story: Quinto  (and. actually a few of the other 3M games) came out in many different colored boxes ... green, gray, etc. I'm told these were put together on a sort of "as needed" basis, dependent on what color boxes were available at the time or whatever boxes they had alot of on hand. The "Title Sheet" (where it says Quinto, as in the pics) were glue on, therefore, the many different colors of boxes of these on the market.

Game components include : plastic folding Gameboard, 90 Playing Tiles, 5 red Multiles, erasable Scorecard, Grease pencil & instructions.

Two to four players. Ages 8 & up. 3M and originally published in 1964.
