Qork

Qork is the cork-yanking party game that turns a simple roll of the dice into a split-second scramble. When the dice total seven or show doubles, every player must yank their string and pull their Qork free before the Cupper slams the cup down — and if you hesitate for even a heartbeat, you'll be wearing the points. It's the kind of game that has the whole table shrieking before they've even worked out what happened.

Designed by Birger Norup and published by The Op Games, Qork is built for chaos. Fake-outs are not just allowed — they're encouraged. Pull too early and you'll pay for it. Pull too late and you'll pay for that too. The sweet spot is razor-thin, and that's exactly what makes it so addictive.

With a playing time of just 10–20 minutes and rules you can explain in under two minutes, Qork is the perfect warm-up game, end-of-night closer, or spontaneous mid-session wildcard. It plays up to eight people and works brilliantly with mixed groups of all ages.
