Mood Swings

About this board game

Mood Swings is a collectible trading card game for 2–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Using a single deck of 45 cards, players take turns playing mood cards and competing to score the most points in each round.

The game is played over a series of rounds. At the end of each round, the player with the most points wins it, and the first player to win three rounds wins the game. Fun card interactions and adaptability keep each game focused on responding to the cards in play.

Mood Swings offers the collecting and trading appeal of a trading card game while retaining the accessible feel of a traditional card game you can buy and play immediately. There is no necessary deck building, and each copy contains a randomized selection of 45 cards, so different copies are not identical.

• The full game includes 133 cards: 48 commons, 40 uncommons, 30 rares, and 15 mythic rares.
• Each copy includes 45 cards from that larger pool.
• The cards use Magic’s five colors and feature sketches from published Magic art.
• Every card represents an emotion or mood.

That larger card pool makes the game “bigger than the box”: each session uses some of the available pieces, but not all of them. When you play a friend’s copy, you may recognize some cards while discovering others that are new to you.

With its changing card selection, collecting, trading, and round-based scoring, Mood Swings brings a collectible experience to a compact, immediately playable card game.
