Ready to explore the history of Earth? Welcome to QUARTETnary: the card game about the geological time scale! Discover the formation of mountain ranges, the evolution of animals and plants, the changing face of the Earth through the ages and more, all captured within 60 beautifully illustrated cards. Playable by anyone over the age of 8, QUARTETnary is suitable for groups of 2 to 5 players and can also be enjoyed solo (thanks to its domino-mode). Gameplay follows that of the classic card game Quartets (similar to Go Fish and Happy Families), where players aim to collect sets of four cards belonging to a specific group; in this case, a geological time unit. Make the most complete timeline of the history of the Earth and win! -description from the designer
