About the game

What you do in a play session

Skim Waves lets you become a skimboard champ without hitting the beach — or getting wet! The goal? Build tubular waves with stacked cards and slide your 'board' (aka your finger or an object) through the tunnel without knocking anything over. Each player attempts to ride the wave, and failures get eliminated. If multiple succeed, the next wave moves farther out. The winner is the lone rider who conquers the farthest wave. Solo mode? Film your record and try to beat it later! Fast, chaotic, and perfect for folks who love dexterity challenges and a dash of controlled mayhem. Pro tip: don’t underestimate shaky fingers after round three!
