Swintus 3D is a board game released in 2013 for 2–6 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Konstantin Seleznev and Timofey Bokarev and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Dice Rolling.
From publisher: A genuine Swintus always thinks about food and would never give up a chance to store some! Prove that you are the best at hoarding food. Start chasing those calories now! Each player has 7 dice of his or her own color. The players roll their dice and use the results to obtain food cards right before their opponents can do the same. The first player to collect 7 pieces of the same food wins the game.
Swintus 3D supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Swintus 3D is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Swintus 3D for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Swintus 3D has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
