Swoop Card Game
3 - 8 Players
3 decks of cards preferably of different colors
Pen and paper for score keeping
Object of the game: To be the first to get rid of all 19 of your cards for each round and to have the lowest score at the end of the game. You decide how long a game is. We usually say we will play until someone reaches 500 points. At which point the person with the lowest score wins. You could also put a time limit on the game, that's up to you.
Scoring is as follows:
Aces count as one.
Face cards are 10.
Other cards are counted at face value.
TENS and JOKERS are SWOOP cards and are worth 50 points each.
Place the 3 decks of cards in the center of the table face down. Mix the decks together with your hands. Each player selects 19 cards from the pile and keeps them face down.
Place 4 of your cards face down and unseen in front of you. Place 4 more cards face up, each on top of the 4 facedown cards.
Then sort your remaining 11 cards in numerical order for ease of play.
Have each player select a card from the pile to see who goes first. High card goes first.
Starting player chooses which cards he wants to discard, usually with his highest cards. He may discard as many of a denomination as he wants. Example: 3 Kings.
The next player must play at least one more Kings or any number lower than kings. For example if you have 4 or more of a denomination you can discard them all and call that a swoop. Anytime you make a swoop you get to play again.
As soon as a denomination reaches 4 of a kind or more, the player says "swoop" and the discarded pile is swooped to the out of play pile. That same player then gets to choose the next card(s) he wants to play from either his hand or his cards on the table in front of him.
When it's his turn, a player may use a TEN or JOKER to swoop the cards from the table and then play whatever denomination he chooses.
The facedown cards can only be played after a swoop or if the player wishes to gamble that the facedown card might be lower than the one already played.
If a player is forced to play and uses a card that is bigger than what is exposed, he must pick up all the cards in the discard pile and play moves to the next player. If a player uses a facedown card to start, he may also play any matching cards from his hand.
Play continues until someone discards all their cards and goes out. All other players must add up their points and the score keeper keeps track of everyone's points.
Start the next round with the winner going first.

Video and instructions are very good Thank you. Looking forward to trying some recipes
Great help. Thank you
Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for a new card game. My friends and I have been playing Phase 10 and I am getting tired of playing the same game over and over again. This looks like fun and easy enough to be able to visit while playing.
Looks Fun... I love card games
Hi Suzy, yes a great casual game night get together!
Robin, thanks for sharing Swoop. Looks like a fun game. Can hardly wait until our next card game night!!!!
Awesome Stephen, let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you for the video! My grandma taught us this game and we loved it, but forgot how to play. This was a great refresher and now we are ready to play it again! Swoop is so fun!
Glad you enjoyed it! Glad my video refreshed your memory and now you can continue to enjoy this fun game!
Thank you for posting this video! Sure is timely, with many schools closed, families can cut the boredom. Blessings
We LOVE SWOOP!!!!!!!!
Nice. Thank you. I really enjoyed this. Glad you posted.
You are welcome! It's a great game. Enjoy!
Oh yeah a new card game. Thanks for sharing!!!!
You bet Theresa! Enjoy!
Thanks Robin !! This looks like a lot of fun!! We will be playing this game for sure!! Love your channel and thanks for sharing 👍🏻👏👌
Thank you Kristi! The card game is a blast!
I have been following your site for a long time. I have made many of the recipes you posted. All were hits with the family. Today I found your video on Swoop. We get together with our kids and grands to eat and play games. I can’t wait to teach them this one. Thank you so much!😊
Thank you Elaine! I’m glad you and your family are enjoying my recipes. I’m glad you will be trying swoop. What a great way to spend time with your family.
One of my favorite games!
Really? I didn't think anyone had heard of it! You are the first! Great game right??
Great game that I learned on a camping trip this past weekend. Thanks for posting this so I can share with other family & friends.
You are welcome Matt! It's a great game!
Love this game! Played it for the first time Saturday night and played for 7 hours, thank you for sharing
That’s great Dawn! Glad you had a great time playing swoop. Thanks for getting back to me!
I've not heard of this before, but it sure looks a good card game, I'm going to get some cards and start learning to play Thank you, for sharing Rockin Robin, :-)
Way to go Joe! Let me know if you have any questions!
Omg! Never thought anyone knew this game! This was the first card game I learned to play at 10 before other card games on the island (they called it "suipi" meaning sweep) and coming back to the state no one knew what I was talking about except my grandparents. I'm glad came across this vid
I'm so glad you stumbled upon this video and it brought back good memories for you!
Hey this is the first time ever I didn't leave hungry after watching...this looks like a fun game..thanks for sharing..I'll try this out at the next get together
Hahaha! Hey Zombie Dad, how about those clips in the beginning that show a few pics of food? You should be salivating a little! Lol.
Interesting game. Im going to introduce this game at our next family gathering. Thanks for sharing.
It's a lot of fun Melissa. Let me know how it goes! I hope your family enjoys it!
This looks fun ❤️
Hi Aprilann, it sure is! Hope you try it sometime!
Wow thanks!
You are welcome!
Glad someone finallly made a vid of this. We learned swoop at Palm Creek in Arizona 3 years ago. Sizeable groups of us would sit around and play swoop for hours. Fun game, lighter than bridge. Folks can get quite excited when yelling 'swoop!'
Hi Dave, glad to see someone has heard or played swoop! Such fun!
This game sure looks like it's a lot of fun. Cheers, Robin!
It's great fun and entertaining way to spend the evening with family and friends! Enjoy!
@@RockinRobinCooks It's popular at our Senior park in Florida. We call it "Swipe" and sized it down a little from the Swoop version. We take out the Jokers and 10s are only 20 against you. And for fun we use 20 cards instead of 19 and if you can pick 20 off the deck you get 10 points off your score!
Love your videos! Saw a mention of this game on your Dalgano Coffee video posted by Sharon Taylor Creative.
Looks like a lot of fun, thank you so much for sharing.
Can’t wait to play with friends once they feel comfortable getting together again. 😷
Thanks Robin! I'm glad you saw this by Sharon Taylor Creative. I will have to check out her channel. Enjoy swoop!
This is a great tutorial! We played it with my husband's sisters family (they called it Swoosh) and were trying to remember how to teach it to our family, so this was absolutely great! Thank you so much! My husband says you're a great teacher! 🙂
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the detailed instructions. This is my new board game for my gal party 🤓
You are welcome! Hope you are enjoying swoop!
I learned how to play Swoop about 5 years ago. I was taught by a couple of card sharks in Chandler, Arizona. The senior community seem to know the best card games!
Swoop is definitely a fun game!! Keep on playing!
Just played this recently, only we were told it was called 10’s. Great game!
Looks like fun! Maybe when my family comes to visit again we can all play. Unfortunately, I no longer live real close to them. Thanks for sharing!!!
It is great fun Donna! Hope you get a chance to play this sometime. Thanks for watching!
@@RockinRobinCooks Oh Robin, thank you so much for making this video! My family and I did play this last summer when they came, and now two of the families play swoop often. My daughters family play every weekend!!! We also play here whenever any of them come to visit. Its now our favorite card game ... favorite of any game!!!
Thanks! My Husband is traveling for work and staying with friends instead of at a hotel. His friends mentioned that they wanted to play cards tomorrow night and said Swoop was a fun game to play. We've never heard of it. I'm passing your video along so he will be able to watch and learn the game prior to his friends teaching it. Looks fun and I'm looking forward to him getting home so I can play as well.
I wonder if your friends play it the same way as I show in the video. Sometimes there are variations.
@@RockinRobinCooks Their variation is 4 of a kind swoop can be used at any time. For example, if the person next to you played 3s you can play 4-8s to swoop the pile. Otherwise it seems about the same.
great game I forgot the rules so glad you have this you tube! thanks!
You are welcome Alisa!
I like it! 😊
Great! Thanks for watching!
@@RockinRobinCooks 😊
We just learned this game and love it! Got any strategy suggestions?
It's a great game. If you have several swoop cards in your hand, keep track of the other players in terms of how many cards they have left. You don't want to get stuck with a lot of swoop cards as they are worth 50 points each. So if you think someone is close to going out, dump the swoop cards as quick as you can. Have fun playing!
There is a card game similar that I'm familiar with known as Castle (Sometimes taught as Palace). Usually don't play for points and some cards have a special value (a 2 can "reset" the pile for example).
Interesting Ryan. Thanks for sharing! I'll have to look into Castle sometime.
Yes ..I agree Palace is what it's originally called according to my penguin book of card games published in 73 many in the African continent, call it castle ..but many Europeans and Americans give it a curse word these days called " sh** head " ha ha
But the object of..and the principle remains the same . It's the slight variations that allow us all to change names, I guess ..😂
Thank You
You're welcome!
We play swoop and were looking for a refresher on how to play. Everything you described is just how I remember, but I was thinking there was some other rule about when you can use the up-facing cards on the table. For example, if you had a king showing on the table, but none in your hand, can you play the king?.Thanks for the refresher. Swoop is our favorite card game! You’re right, we couldn’t find anything else online about swoop. Where are you located? We learned the game from folks in Pagosa Springs, CO.
As far as your question goes about playing the king from the cards on the table, I believe if you are leading then yes you can play the king from the pile on the table. So lets say after you play a swoop card and now you are starting over or leading, you can play that king. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will try to help. I did write the rules which can be found below the video in the description area.
Looks like it would be a lot more fun with friends. ;-) Seems remarkably similar, if I recall correctly, to a packaged game I’ve played in the past.
Hey Lakeman, yes more friends the better!
Thanks for a great video, we have played before and I have a question you didn't hit upon.
If you can't get under a card played and can't swoop it, you must pick up the cards and add them to your hand. Who then leads out after you have picked up? The next player in line?
That is correct.
Thanks for your video. My family is in a dilemma on the rules of when you can’t play a card at the same value or below. For example, if somebody plays a 2, and you don’t have a 2 or an ace, what happens after that? Do you play a higher card and then take the whole pile? Or do you take that higher card as part of the pile too?
What we do is play a card from either your hand or a face down card in front of you. If its a 2 or an ace you are good and it's the next persons turn. if you only have higher cards in your hand to play, they you place one down to show the others and then pick up that pile. Then it's the next persons turn.
Play all the time! 0:30
We have been playing something very similar called Swipe. Only difference is: No Jokers and 12 cards in your hand to start. That is, the Ten is the wild card. Rest appears the same. Have never been able to find anything on Swipe either. And, we use a card shuffler and, one person deals - 4 down, 4 up and then the 12 face down per player. One card at a time in clockwise direction. Lastly, one can only Swipe with 4 cards max.
We play "Swipe" too at our senior park in apollo beach florida! Lots of fun!
I have a rules question. If you play a card that is higher than the last card on the pile you have to pick the pile up. But even if you have a lower card you can still play a higher card to pick up the pile? Also if youre playing a card where you have to pick up the pile can it be from your face up cards on the table?
You wouldn't want to pick up the pile by playing a higher card if you have a lower card because the goal is to get rid of all your cards and go out. The facedown cards can only be played after your swoop or if the player wishes to gamble that the facedown card might be lower than the one already played. As far as the faceup cards go, I think you can play it if all your cards are higher than the card played before you.
We play all the time
Please do more uncommon cars games.
Thank you for posting. Can you "go out" using a swoop card (10 or joker)? Example ....The player before me had to pick up the pile and I only have one card and it is a 10. Can I play it or do I have to pass?
You can use a swoop card to go out.
What do you do when the only card you have left is a swoop card? Do you discard and go out or do you have to pick up the other cards because it’s more points?
You discard and go out!
So if I cannot play a lower card than what is required and I want to use one of my faceup cards of the 4 stacked, if I have 2 of the same facing up, can I play them both, thus uncovering 2 instead of 1. I still have to take the whole pile, but now I've effectively uncovered 2 instead of 1.
You could use one of the face down cards in front of you because you don't know if it's lower or higher than the card played. If what you played is higher, you take the pile. You cannot play two higher cards from the cards placed up in the pile in front of you. I don't think it's fair to be able to play a high card from the 4 that are in front of you for the sole purpose of uncovering one of the piles. We play this by using one of the cards in your hand which is higher than the card being played. Hope that makes sense.
We played it last night. However, the person who taught us learned it from someone in her 55+ community. They call it Swipe. The only difference I see in the rules is she said we have 12 cards and the 10 is worth 20 and we didn't use the joker. Everything else is the same. Truly a fun game! I can't wait to teach other people.
We have been playing this game for over 3 years now and we call the game swipe...we have taught many people this game!
Great game isn’t it?!!
Great game, Robin. You look simply adorable in pink, sweetie. What's your best tip for making the best chicken enchiladas?
Thanks Byron. Do you every play card games? My best tip for making chicken enchiladas is to dip those corn tortillas in hot oil before rolling and use my enchilada sauce: ua-cam.com/video/pUN-LBpyYGY/v-deo.html
Thank you for a good tutorial. One question I have is when you don’t have anything lower than what is on the pile and you have to play a higher card, you then have to take all the card and place them in your hands, is that player’s turn finished or does he get to play a new card starting a new pile?
Yes that players turn has ended. You only get to play a new card starting a new pile after you have swooped the pile by making 4 or more of a suit or you play a swoop card.
When can u turn up mystery turned down cards?
Only one time?
Or can u keep going (turning up mystery card? If they qualify? Being below ? )
I want to play cards at your house.
We need clarification on the rules. Must you play the same value card that's on top of the pile if you have any? Then play a lower card if you don't have the same as the top? Or can you choose to play either a lower card or the top of the pile card? For example, pile shows queens on top. Next player has a queen. Must they play the queen or can they choose to play under it, holding onto their queen?
Usually you want to get rid of your highest cards first so you can play under other players cards. Highest cards take the pile and we don't want the pile right? We want to get rid of all our cards first if we can.
Could you explain what happens if it is your turn and you don't have any cards lower then what is on the pile and you don't have a swoop card to play.
You would just pick up the pile.
Toward the end of your video, you show player #1, just after a swoop, putting out two kings. Then you have that same player add one of his facedown cards, which happens to be a swoop card. If it had been a lower card, could he have played it, seeing that it doesn't match his king? As long as that card was either a swoop card or something lower, he can play it? But he couldn't play one of his lower cards in his hand, seeing that it doesn't match the king card?
It was player #3 that played the two kings. Then it was player #1 turn. He had to play kings or something under it. He decided to play the face down card and it was a swoop card.
i have not heard of swoop rockin robin
Lot's of people haven't Thanks for watching!
You say that "The facedown cards can only be played after a swoop...or". Does that mean the cards turned up on the table in front of player can be played at any time, including the start of the game?
You can play the face down cards when you want but you would probably want to play them after you have swooped or when someone else has played a high card since you don't know what your face down card is. You can play the cards that are up in front of the player at any time including the start of the game. Most likely you want to play a high card or multiple high cards starting out.
Rules question: I played this with friends, and I was under the belief if you have a card that can match or get under the card on the table, you have to either play that, or flip a face down and gamble you’ll get under it….. what our friends were doing is intentionally taking the pile when they liked the cards, by putting a high card over it, even though in their hand, they could have gotten under it. In one scenario, there were 2 6’s on the table, and the player got over the card by unloading 4 jacks, and gladly taking the 2 6’s. It made it too easy to dump bad cards. Are you allowed to intentionally take the pile?
Yes, you can intentionally take the pile. That’s how we play it. If there are cards in the pile that match what you have in your hand and it helps you get rid of more, then yes. That’s part of the strategy of this game!
What if you have 10 or more people playing, are 3 decks of cards enough?
You would have to add a deck or two. Remember each player gets 19 cards. Multiply that by the number of players. Each deck has 52 cards. Just make sure you have enough to cover the number of players.
Just heard of this game, and told there was nothing on internet. Not anymore!
Glad you found me! Please share the video with anyone who you think might enjoy this great game!
I don't see the description to save and print, where do I find it?
The description is below the video. Click "show more" on a desktop or a small arrow on the right side below the video. From there you would copy and paste.
We play that the 2's are also swoop cards
I'm sure there are varying rules.
What happens when an Ace is played and no one else has an Ace to play? Do you sweep the pile? Does the person who played the Ace, get to start a new pile?
The next person then will have to take the pile.
This game seems SUPER similar to the game 3up3down
Hi Stella, is that right. I've never heard of 3 up 3 down.
I can't figure out how to get the written rules. Can you help me?
Hi Monica, It would be best if you are on a computer. Below the video there is a description area. To get to it, click where it says "show more". Scroll down and you should see it. Hope that helps.
