How to Play Card Swipe
Every card puts you face-to-face with a real (if slightly absurd) life decision. Read the situation, then swipe right on the card — or click/tap the right button, or press the right arrow key — to pick the first option, or swipe/click/press left for the second. Each decision moves your four stats: Money, Love, Fame, and Health. Keep an eye on all four: the moment any single stat hits zero, your run is over.
Tips for a Longer Run
- Watch for a stat bar that starts pulsing — that's your warning it's heading toward the danger zone.
- A balanced run beats a lopsided one: chasing Money at the cost of Health always catches up with you eventually.
- Keep every stat out of the danger zone on a card and you'll bank a "perfect decision" bonus — chain several in a row for a growing combo multiplier.
- Rare Risk, Mystery, Jackpot, and Disaster cards shake up the routine — weigh the safe option against the gamble each time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play Card Swipe?
Read each card's situation, then swipe right to accept the first choice or swipe left for the second (or use the on-screen buttons, or the arrow keys on desktop). Each choice changes your Money, Love, Fame, and Health. Keep all four above zero for as long as you can.
Is Card Swipe free to play?
Yes, Card Swipe is completely free to play in your browser, on both desktop and mobile, with no download or sign-up required.
What ends a run in Card Swipe?
A run ends the moment any one of your four stats — Money, Love, Fame, or Health — drops to zero. Your score is based on how many cards you survive and how many good decisions you chain together.
How is my score calculated?
Every card survived is worth points, with bonus points for keeping all four stats out of the danger zone (a "perfect" decision) and extra combo points the longer your perfect streak runs.
Can I compete with friends?
Yes — after a run ends you can claim a nickname on the global leaderboard and share your score with a challenge link so friends can try to beat it.
