Swish

Blue dot in a blue Circle

Stacking fun with cards! Swish wanted! A Swish is a stack of two or more clear cards in which each dot must sit in a circle/ring of the same color.

The game holds 60 transparent playing cards, each of those cards features one dot and one circle.

Dot and circle on the card more often than not are not of the same color. The dealer shuffles the cards and places 16 cards in four rows. On the command of “Swish” all players simultaneously search for Swishes. You cannot touch the cards but must combine them in your head in a way that each colored dot sits in a circle of the same color by turning them in your mind until you have found a corresponding counterpart in color and arrangement of dots and circles. If you find a swish you announce it with “Swish” and then place the cards on top of each other. For a correct Swish you take both cards and two new cards are added to the display from the draw pile; otherwise you put the cards back and you discard one card already collected. Some help comes from the fact that color always matches position: e.g. Blue is always in the corners. Each card in a Swish scores one point, so you try to achieve multiple Swishes. When all players are in agreement that now more swishes are possible four cards from the display are replaced with new ones. When beginners and expert swishers play together, you can decree that the experienced players can make Swishes from three or more cards only.

A very sophisticated puzzle about quick reactions and spatial sense, not as easy as it seems to be, because cards must be placed congruently! Who can rotate or tilt the cards fastest in his mind only?
