0 Quicksand Tuckbox
Holds 1/2 of the cards so that the box will still close properly. Therefore, you need to make two tuckboxes to hold all the cards.

4 A few simple Quicksand variants.
I like the game Quicksand okay as it was originally designed, but I think that with a few basic variants the randomness of the cards can be reduced somewhat (allowing you some more control over what you do in the game), the hidden identity premise can be strengthened, the time of the game can be shortened (not that it's terribly long, anyway, but sometimes it can feel a bit long for the light filler that it's supposed to be), and a little more strategy can be added to the game. I use all of these variants when I play and they have made the game more enjoyable for me, but of course, you're free to use some, all or none of these suggestions.
