About the game

Twitch is an insanely frantic game of reacting to new information. When someone plays a card, you must quickly determine if it points to you (e.g., if the player to your right plays a card that says "left"), and if it does, throw the top card of your deck onto the pile. If you're not quick enough, another player will call you out, and you'll have to take all the cards in the pile into your deck. The first person to run her deck out wins.

Twitch supports 3–6 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.
