Swap Up is a fast, intuitive player-versus-dealer casino card game playable with either a single 52-card deck or a continuous six-deck shoe. Each player receives three cards, with the third card dealt face-up as the peek card. If the peek card is a 2, 3, or 4, the player may blindly swap it with one of the dealer's three face-down cards. Pick a card. Change your hand. Beat the dealer.

Approximately 23.8% of hands allow a swap - nearly one in four hands - creating a consistent moment of anticipation and table conversation.
