Games of Chance

Swipe is a proprietary dice game for two to six players, published by Fundex Games in 2004 and designed by Garrett J. Donner, Michael S. Steer and Wendy L. Harris. Players roll a set of special dice and use the results to win chips, either from a central pool called the kitty or directly from other players, with the game ending when one player accumulates a target number of chips or the kitty is exhausted. The game requires no real setup time, is aimed at players eight years old and up, and relies primarily on the luck of the dice roll rather than a learned skill, placing it among the higher-chance, lower-skill family of commercial dice games.
