Luck profile
Swish has a moderate level of luck involved in the game. Random elements like card draws and dice rolls have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. However, players have substantial ability to mitigate the effects of randomness through strategic decisions and planning.

Swish strikes a good balance between luck and strategy, making it an engaging and enjoyable board game for players who enjoy both elements.
Overview
Swish is a pattern recognition card game reminiscent of Set that challenges a player to make matches – dubbed "Swishes" – before opponents. Swish includes 60 transparent cards; each card has some combination of balls and hoops on it, with these items coming in four colors. To set up the game, lay out 16 cards on the table. Players simultaneously try to create "Swishes" by spotting two or more cards that can be laid on top of one another in some manner so that every ball fits in a hoop of the same color. Create a Swish, and you claim the cards used, with new cards then being laid out. Whoever claims the most cards wins the game. The game includes varied levels of play so that the spatially clueless can compete against Tetris-heads.
