Swish Jr. is a version for children of Swish, a pattern recognition card game in which players make matches – dubbed "Swishes" – before opponents. Swish Jr. includes 42 transparent cards; each card has some combination of small shapes on it, with these items coming in four colors. To set up the game, lay out 12 cards on the table. Players simultaneously try to create "Swishes" by spotting two or more cards that can be laid on top of one another in some manner so that shapes of the same color fit. Create a Swish, and you claim the cards used, with new cards then being laid out. Whoever claims the most cards wins the game.
