About the game

From publisher: Svintus is a simple and exciting card game for any group of people. It is based around a deck of numbered cards in four different colors. To start the game, each player receives 8 cards and the goal is to get rid of them as soon as possible. The fun of the game lies in the special Pig cards that make the game unpredictable and exciting. You can force your opponent to miss their turn (Pigass), draw 3 additional cards (Greedypig), change the direction of play (The Pig-go-round), change the color of the card in front of you (Pigameleon), forbid any talking at the table (Silent-Pig), or check the reaction time of your friends (Lightning-Pork). Finally, it will be up to you to steal your friends’ turns right from under their noses, or sick the Pig cards on them. All in all, you’ll have to be a real pig to your friends.
