How Quartet Games Work
 
A Quartet game is a classic European card game structurally identical to the game of Go Fish.
 
The deck consists of numbered sets of four cards (quartets) grouped by a common theme (e.g., specific categories of zoo animals).
 
Players take turns asking opponents for specific cards to complete and layout a full set of four.
 
The player who collects the most completed quartets by the time all cards are played wins the game.
