The other day Allison, Eva and I played a couple rounds of a new card game called Swish Jr. This is the Jr. version of the popular game from ThinkFun called Swish. It helps challenge players to think in new and different ways. I sort of think of it as a low tech Tetris sort of game. Each card is transparent and has a couple of symbols on it some are outlines and some are solid. Your job is to take as few as two cards and as many as 9 cards to stack so that the images form a swish, named for a basketball going through the net without hitting the rim. So, a Swish is formed when every symbol in the stack of cards you select to make a Swish has a solid image on top of an outline and vice versa with every symbol in your stack matched. Here is a video of how the game is played.
