FlipOut is easy to learn, has a great balance of skill and luck, plays well across a broad range of ages, and is loads of fun! Players each have six cards arranged in an arc in a card-holder in front of them, so that they can only see one side of each card while their opponents see the other. The cards have colored patterns on both sides, and the goal is to obtain as many cards as possible by collecting sets of 4 to 6 matching adjacent cards, based on the side that's facing you. On each turn, a player chooses two actions to take out of a possible six that include flipping, switching, and swapping, all with the goal of lining cards up for a score. And scoring happens frequently in FlipOut, sending the fun level into the stratosphere. For when a player collects a set based on the side they're viewing, they often undo a score you were planning based on the flipside of those same cards! For 2 to 5 players.
