Quarq (2013)

Quarq is a card game system. You can play an unlimited number of games with a Deck of Quarqs.

Quarq games are simple. The rules for each fit on a single card.

Fundamentally, Quarq is a deck of 72 cards, consisting of

• 60 Quarq cards, each a unique "3-D" combination of 3 of the 12 suits
• 12 suit cards, which are used in some games

Quarq comes packaged with 14 games, including

• 5 adaptations of top traditional card games
• 4 brand new strategy card games
• 3 novel stand-up games
• 2 poker games

...and many more Quarq games added by YOU, the community, at quarq.org.

Quarq games range from
twists on traditional games like Bridge, Hearts, Concentration, to
radically new games that could not be played with a traditional deck of cards, like Psychics, Trade Routes, Conquistaspores. Some are designed for 2 young kids; others are for 15 abstract thinkers.

Quarq games are more radically diverse than traditional card games. They use almost any other mechanic.

As it is a game system, Quarq is also a creative medium.
