Each card names the other three in its group. 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.
The goal is the same, to try to complete the phases, 1-10, in order. Instead of cards, players each take turns rolling 10 six-sided dice, 6 marked with 5-10 and the other four with 1-4 and two wilds each. In each turn the player rolls all 10 dice, then may set aside any of them and re-roll the rest up to two times, for a total of three rolls.

Pip cards below the ten generally have no card point value and the pack is often shortened by removing the lower pip cards or 'non-counters'.
