Why?... Who? ... What?...
WHY IS IT CALLED SWACKLE?
Besides being a fun word to say, SWACKLE is kinda like an acronym that stands for: Seven Words Audaciously Combined Kindles Laughter Every-time! And that's a BIG CLUE to playing the game too!
Each Player writes their very own 7* word "short-story", phrase or list to answer a wacky prompt. The catch? Each word must BEGIN with the specific random letters picked in that round!
Same prompt, same letters, Players' wildly different answers --- there WILL be cackling when you're SWACKLING!
*see FAQ's to learn about Variations, including a Beginner's gameplay we call TWACKLE FWACKLE SWACKLE!
WHO CAN PLAY?
SWACKLE is ideal for 4-8 players, ages 10 and up,
Easy modifications for younger kids using prompts with simpler suggestions that call for lists versus sentences and using Beginner's Variation**.
This game can even can be played with 2 people - just leave off the Trophy awarding**
Got a bigger group - (like even up to 16 people) and space to spread out? Partner up and quietly brainstorm your duo's answer. Two heads-a-SWACKLIN - imagine the audacious possibilities!

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
Goodness... there's SO much in this SWACKLE game bookbox!
Double sided prompt cards, Letter Tiles, Wild Tiles, Tile/card holder (which also stashes the trophy), Answer/score sheets, the Rules - including Tips and Variations and SWACKLEE the Trophy!
Just grab the SWACKLE bookbox and head to your next GAME NIGHT! All you need to add is some pencils or pens, a stopwatch or phone timer and YOUR PEOPLE! Set up and learning time is super quick.
BTW - the original prototype is the SWACKLE bag - handmade from upcycled denim and a drawstring - with some big audacious
hopes and dreams stitched into its story. Our hope is that
this game might come in both packages.
The bookbox would be especially great for a classroom edition.
