	Description Edit \| History

This two minute, 2-player card game bills itself as the fastest in the world. Without taking turns, players race to empty their hands by matching the color, shape, or number of symbols on their cards to the two discard piles in the center of the table. The first player to empty their hand and draw pile wins the game.

The rulebook includes variants for 3 and 4 player games as well.

Blink: Bible Edition is the same game with Christian faith icons.
