Minderheiten Quartett (2020)

Overview

This satirical card game features 60 minorities structured in 10 groups. Earlier editions are completely revised.

Minderheiten Quartett is a variant of a Quartett game, with a splash of Top Trumps and some unique mechanisms thrown in. There are two types of cards. First, the traditional Top Trumps style cards with minorities and their statistics, such as intelligence or sex appeal. Second, there are 6 Joker Cards which may change the scoring.

Every player receives 3 minorities cards and a joker. The starting player defines a category and "low" or "high". All players choose a card simultaneously. The player with the highest score chooses 2 of the played cards and puts them on his victory pile. All other players except the last one choose one card. Players then restock their hand to three cards. The game ends when one player has 4 cards of the same minority in his victory pile. This player wins. A variant suggests to find the most discriminated person by discussion.
