Players add cards to a five-by-five grid, scoring from connections to nearby cards and drawing when links allow. Unplayed cards cost points, so each placement must manage both the board and hand.

Quincunx is a Decktet game for 2 to 4 players (with a solitaire variant). The game is played on a five by five grid.

You are penalized for any cards left in your hand at the end of the game.
