Swipe

What to Expect

In Swipe, players roll special dice marked with unique symbols to collect chips or steal dice from others. Starting with two dice and two chips, players take turns rolling and executing actions like taking dice or chips from the center or opponents. The game ends when the central chip pile is depleted, and the player with the most red chips wins.

Who Is This Game For?

Swipe is suitable for families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy quick dice games. With a playtime of about 30 minutes, it fits well into short game sessions without complex rules or preparation. No prior experience is needed due to its simple mechanics and luck-driven gameplay.

How It Works

The core mechanic is Dice Rolling: players roll their dice and perform actions based on the symbols shown. Blue squares let you take dice from the center or opponents, red circles let you take chips from the center or others, and black Xs force you to return a die. The special Super Swipe rule allows you to steal a die from every opponent and roll again, adding dynamic interaction and twists.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Garrett J. Donner, Wendy L. Harris, and Michael S. Steer and part of the 'Ideal Dice Slide' series, Swipe stands out through its unique dice symbols enabling strategic stealing and collecting. Although it has no recorded awards, its Dice Rolling mechanic combined with player interaction offers a distinct experience among dice games.

Setting & Atmosphäre

Swipe has an abstract theme focusing on collecting and stealing chips using special dice. It does not rely on a specific narrative or setting.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Focus on using your dice wisely and watch opponents' dice and chips closely to find good opportunities to steal.
