Tile Not Working

I just started this but I'm having some trouble. Xcode finds the method and accepts it as a selector. But whenever I tap the view nothing happens (I'm creating views via code. They appear fine on the simulator, but the gesture recognizer I added to the view doesn't work).

Inside viewDidLoad in the view controller:

            let tile = BoardTile(x: 0, y: 100, size: 50)
            view.addSubview(tile.view)

The stuff I'm trying to do

import UIKit

class BoardTile: NSObject{

    let view: UIView
    let label: UILabel

    init(x:Int, y:Int, size:Int){
        view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: size, height: size))
        view.backgroundColor = ViewController.baseColor
        label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size, height: size))
        label.text = "1"
        label.font = font
        label.textAlignment = .Center
        view.addSubview(label)

        //***********HELP HERE, DOESN'T WORK***********//
        let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer()
        self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
        tap.addTarget(self, action: #selector(tapped))

    }

    func tapped(){
        // Never prints when I tap: 
        print("tapped!")
    }
}

What keeps the "tile" object alive? If the "tile" instance dies within the method scope, the view and the label dies with it.
