GötzenDiener is a quick set-collecting card game. The deck consists of five types of cards representing objects of worship, numbered 1–5, of various quantities. On a player's turn, he picks a card, then either keeps it or sends it to another player who cannot refuse the card. If a player gets a hand of four cards, he must discard all cards of any one type from his hand, applying the effect on those card(s). The game ends when either the deck runs out, someone has a hand of three identical cards, or someone discards a 5. All players then show their hands, earning points for the most common object of worship in hand and the runner-up, and being penalized for everything else, those objects being heretical symbols.
