How to play Quadpawn on Mac

Game summary

Quadpawn is a short chess-like puzzle game where you and your opponent both control four pawns. These pawns move with the same rules as chess pawns. Multiple rounds can be played and tally of the score is kept for all rounds played. The goal of the game is to try to get one of your pawns to the starting row of your opponent's pawns. The player loses a round if a black pawn reaches the player's starting row or if the pawns are locked up in such a way that doesn't allow anyone to move.
First released: Feb 1994

Play Quadpawn on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Quadpawn on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Quadpawn installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Quadpawn like you would on any PC.
