==Special Rules==
==Special Rules==
A D6 (six sided die) is required to play.
A D6 (six sided die) is required to play.


If a player stockpiles 15 points, that player is the winner. (If you want to play a longer game however, any amount of points can be chosen between the players as the winning amount)
Your stockpile is the total amount of points you gather with points cards.


At the start of each player's turn, they draw a card from the deck. Then the player must choose between playing a card, either a Thing or an Action, or discarding a card from their hand. Remember: only one card can be played per turn. If a card is played, you may not discard and your turn is over. If a card is discarded, your turn is over.
Normal Dvorak rules apply.


Generally, the stockpile can be used to keep track of your points, although sometimes it is easier to keep track of your points by tallying them on a piece of paper.
-Draw a card
 
-You may play one Thing card and one Action card per turn (or no cards). Recommend playing a Thing card first followed by any Action card.
 
-Check hand size to 5 cards.
 
==Victory==
If a player has 26 or more points stockpiled at the beginning of their turn (before they draw a card) they win the game. (Different points amounts are acceptable for longer games)
 
==Two Player Games==
In two player games, the "Skip!" cards can be removed to stop redundancy.
 
==Tallying Stockpile Points==
Generally, your stockpile can be used to keep track of your points, although sometimes it is easier to keep track of your points by tallying them on a piece of paper.

Swap! A simple yet tense game of stealing and swapping points with your opponents. Find out who has the most cunning and daring to win the game! Can you outwit, or outswap, your opponent...?

Special Rules

A D6 (six sided die) is required to play.

Your stockpile is the total amount of points you gather with points cards.

Normal Dvorak rules apply.

-Draw a card

-You may play one Thing card and one Action card per turn (or no cards). Recommend playing a Thing card first followed by any Action card.

-Check hand size to 5 cards.

Victory

If a player has 26 or more points stockpiled at the beginning of their turn (before they draw a card) they win the game. (Different points amounts are acceptable for longer games)

Two Player Games

In two player games, the "Skip!" cards can be removed to stop redundancy.

Tallying Stockpile Points

Generally, your stockpile can be used to keep track of your points, although sometimes it is easier to keep track of your points by tallying them on a piece of paper.
