Slide South African Edition Card Game

About this product

Slide, swap, and think ahead to leave yourself with the lowest score.

A fast and clever number card game with simple rules, sharp decisions, and Afrikaans rules included in this South African edition.

Slide is a quick pattern-building card game where you push cards into your grid and try to finish with the fewest points.

Product Description

Slide is a smart, speedy card game that turns a simple number grid into a tense little puzzle. Reveal cards, choose carefully from the middle, and slide them into your 4x4 grid to set up matching numbers that cancel out. The fewer points you keep, the better your score. This South African edition includes Afrikaans rules, which is a great local bonus.

• There is also a tournament style option where you play until someone reaches or exceeds 100 points.

Care & Maintenance
