Kwartet is a modified version of the age-old Dutch card game Kwartet (which is not unlike the game Go Fish), in which the objective is to collect a complete set of four cards per given category.

This version, which uses contemporary artworks grouped by theme, was conceived by Dutch artists Marijke Appelman and Koen Taselaar. They asked Tymen Cieraad and Jaap de Maat of Studio Joep Jacobs to take care of the design.

Kwartet was produced in a limited edition of 300 decks. Cost of one deck: $ 35 (Hey, it’s art! ;-)

    An interesting concept and a good way to become familiar with contemporary art.

    Reminds me of the card game “Authors” I used to play as a kid. Was an amusing way to learn about great, well, authors. Had to match up corresponding facets of writers like Mark Twain, Shakespeare, etc.
    Thanks for reminding me – I’d forgotten about it. Gotta find a copy for the kids.
