What is Swirls

OVERVIEWSWIRLS is a simple but very competitive 2-6 player tile game. It is intended for children, families and party players who is looking for a quick, fun and highly energetic gameplay.

In essence, the gameplay is based on rolling 3 dice with Colors and Swirl Patterns. Then, at the same moment, all players try to find and grab the matching tile as fast as possible. Everyone tries to be quicker than others, to take the tile to the own tile pool. After taking, the tile has to be resolved and some decisions have to be made. In the end, the one who collects most tiles or gains highest score wins the game.

Despite the simple basic concept, there are meaningful features included that heat up the gameplay. SWIRLS uses classic dexterity mechanism of roll and be the first to find/grab, but the gameplay is elevated hugely by introducing solutions like:

Intensive rivalry - gameplay keeps players engaged constantly, forcing them to compete and fight for each tile. Matching tiles may be also found in other player's pool, so players never feel safe with already collected ones. They may keep losing them next turns if they are not fast enough with finding.
