SWOOP

Inset · How Swoop Plays

THREE MOVES. THAT'S THE WHOLE GAME.

  1. I
    Play lower, or same

    Put down a card the same rank as the top of the pile, or lower. Play as many of one rank as you like.

  2. II
    Or draw the pile

    Stuck? You take the whole pile into your hand. The pile resets to whatever you play next.

  3. III
    Swoop & clear

    A four-of-a-kind — or any wild (10 or Joker) — clears the pile to discard. Play again.
