Quirk! Legends - What is it?

Describing Quirk! as a go-fish style card game is only a small part of it. The game has more depth than simple go-fish, but is also just pure unadulterated fun when you want it to be. The point is to assemble the most Quirks (A Quirk is three of the same character card). Here is where the fun begins, since you don't just ask for those trolls (or demons or angels), you do your best troll impression - grumbling, snorting and miming the bridge you live under. The player you targeted will give you all of the matching Character Cards, otherwise you draw another card from the deck.

You place Quirks in front of you as soon as you have collected the three requisite characters (no hiding them in your hand). Once a Quirk is in open play the next card comes in - Tactic Cards. These are used to steal Quirks from other players. This replaces your opportunity to mime for another card to build new Quirks. Also the Tactic Cards can only be played if the 13 possible Quirks have not yet been played. So they need to be used strategically. You can play one of the three Defence Cards to stop someone from stealing your Quirk. The last card type is the Skip Card which can skip one of the other players turns.
