The religious quintet is a variation of the regular
‘quartet’ card game. The game is played with
three or more players. The objective of the game is to gather as much
quintets (sets of five cards) as possible. Each
card contains a large picture and a symbol in
the corner. If you print out the cards, there are four cards per A4 paper. Cut out the cards and put them on a pile.
The cards are shuffled and dealt evenly between
all the players. During the game, the cards are
held face up in a player’s hand, so the other players can't see the cards of the other participants.
The player to the dealer’s left starts the game by
asking another player if they have a certain card (example, card ‘Diwali’ from the quintet
‘Celebrations’) which would help the player create a quintet.
If the player does have that card, then the card is handed over. If the player doesn’t, then it
becomes his/her turn to ask for a card from another player.
When a player collected a complete quintet, or if a complete quintet was dealt, the cards creating
the quintet are placed in front of the player.
The game ends when all the quintets have been completed. The winner is the person with
the most completed quintets.
