About the Game

Rediscover the joy of game night with Swoop, the definitive digital version of the beloved family card game!

Swoop is a "shedding-style" card game where the goal is simple: be the first to get rid of all your cards. Play from your hand and your face-up tableau onto the center pile. But there's a catch—you can only play a card of equal or lower value than the one on top! Can't make a legal play? You must pick up the entire discard pile, adding a mountain of cards to your hand. Uncover your face-down "mystery cards" and decide when to risk a blind play.

Master the art of the SWOOP! By playing a powerful 10 or Joker, or completing four of a kind, you can clear the pile and immediately play again, turning the tide of the game. Swoop is the perfect blend of simple rules and deep strategy that will have you screaming "THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!" at the incredible comebacks.

**Key Features:**

- **Steam Multiplayer & Lobbies:** Host private matches with friends or join public lobbies via Steam. Play together in competitive multi-user matches, filling any empty slots with smart CPU players.

- **Challenging AI:** Don't have a full group? Test your wits against advanced computer opponents with distinct personalities, from cautious to aggressive.

- **Mystery Cards & Blind Plays:** Take a risk on your face-down cards. Will a low card save your turn, or a high card force you to take the pile?

- **Customizable Rules:** Adjust the number of players, AI difficulty, and score limits to create the perfect match.

Easy to learn in just a few hands, Swoop is built for quick, competitive fun. Download now, host a lobby, and play your first hand!
