Shuffle and Swing

About this board game

Shuffle and Swing is a competitive Eurogame for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 80 minutes. As managers at a fabulous factory of musical gadgets, you must help build giant jazz instruments while competing to make your work stand out.

Shuffle and Swing’s distinctive dual rondel system lets you move your mouse to activate dice actions. Careful planning is essential as you decide how to invest your efforts, when to act, and which dice to use or upgrade.

Supervisor mice are employed to recruit cats around the factory and contribute to the construction of giant instruments. Although you may make use of any player’s supervisor, that supervisor recruits workers only for their own boss, creating a tightly competitive struggle over responsibility and recognition.

• Race to build specific instruments before your opponents.
• Use a dual rondel system to activate dice actions.
• Time building, refreshing, and inspecting actions carefully.
• Choose whose dice to use and upgrade as opportunities arise.
• Compete across variable action-wheel setups and instrument objectives.

Success depends on building efficiently while ensuring that Shuffle and Swing notice who deserves the credit. Boasting about your achievements is part of the effort, but smart timing and focused competition will determine which manager earns the most points.

With its clean, fast-paced design, variable setup, and changing instrument objectives, Shuffle and Swing offers a concentrated contest of planning, timing, and interaction. Finish the right instruments, attract attention from your jazzy bosses, and claim the big promotion.
