About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for some pig-tastic fun with Свинтус (Svintus)! This card game is all about simple, exciting entertainment for any group. The goal is straightforward: get rid of your 8 cards as quickly as possible. The deck consists of numbered cards in four different colors, but the real thrill comes from the special Pig cards that turn the game upside down. Want to make an opponent skip their turn? There's the 'Pigass' card! Need to draw more cards? 'Greedypig' has you covered. Fancy changing the direction of play? 'The Pig-go-round' offers that possibility. And if you want to confuse everyone, 'Pigameleon' lets you change the current card's color. There's even the 'Silent-Pig' card to enforce quiet and 'Lightning-Pork' to test reaction times. The game is so engaging you'll be tempted to snatch turns from your friends or unleash the pigs on them. To win, you need to be the ultimate 'pig' in the best sense, of course! It's the kind of game that guarantees laughter and unexpected moments, perfect for breaking the ice or livening up any party. The 2.0 version promises even more chaos and fun.
