SWIPE

How To Play Swipe!

Game Rules

Objective

Swipe is a fast-paced card game where players try to get rid of all their cards.

Getting Started

  1. Each game begins with players getting 20 cards.
  2. Without looking at their cards, 4 cards get placed face down in front and then a card is placed face up on each.
  3. The player is then left with 12 cards in their hand.

Gameplay

  1. Someone goes first by playing cards into the center pile.
  2. The next player can play the same cards or cards lower.
  3. If a 4 of a kind is made in the center, the center pile is swiped away and the player gets to play again.
  4. Naturally the game starts out by players playing their highest cards.
  5. If a player cannot play an equal or lower card, they can play a swipe (0) card. This swipes the center and player gets to play again.
  6. If player has no lower cards or swipe they must play a card and pick up the pile.
  7. The face down cards cannot be played until the face up card ontop of it is played. These are blind gamble plays, best to play them when center card is high or empty.
  8. If a face down card is played and you have other matching cards in hand you can play those as well.

Scoring

  • At end of the round whats left in your hand gets scored up.
  • Number cards are their score, face cards are 10 and swipe cards are 20.
