Pair A Dice Games Corner
Flip 7
The scene: You have six cards in front of you. Each card has a different number, 2,4,5,6,10, and 12. If you take another card, you can get enough points to win. You take the top card of the deck and reveal it. With a gasp, it is another 12. A cacophony of noise comes from all the players as you now get zero points, and another round gets to be played.
This is the energy and fun that Flip 7 brings to the table. Flip 7, from the Op Games, a local game company out of Carlsbad, is a simple push-your-luck game as you try to get to 200 points first before other players. Every turn, you choose to either take a card or to stop and collect points based on what you have. If you take a card and it matches another card you have, you bust and get zero points.
While this, on its own, would be fun, the game adds actions to the deck that can throw a wrench into gameplay and add more excitement to the game. There are additional modifier cards that can boost your score, too! If you end up with seven different number cards, you get bonus points.
All of this is contained in a small box and is perfect to bring with you to a bar or party, and you can play it with just two people or up to 10. Flip 7 is the perfect game for so many people and a great filler game for your game night.
