Quartets is a dedicated deck card game with the object to collect 4 cards in a series, similar to Go Fish and Happy Families.
Each pack originally contained 32 cards, divided into 8 groups of 4 cards, unlike a normal 52 pack of playing cards, but the number of groups changed from company to company.
A version of the game was published by the Austrian card game company Piatnik during the 1960s,[1] and later released by Dubreq [d], Ace, Waddingtons and other companies.
The cards are shuffled and an equal number are dealt to all the players, who hold them without revealing their hand to other player's.
The game ends when all the quartets have been created.
