Why Flip 7 Is the Right Buy Right Now

Flip 7 is a push-your-luck card game. On your turn, you either flip another card or stay. Collect different numbers and your score grows, but flip a duplicate and you lose everything for the round. Reach seven different numbers and you get a big bonus. It is simple, fast and lets you scream “one more card!” at yourself.

It is very cheap, very easy and a wonderful family game. If you want a game you can teach in two minutes and play right away, this is it.

Why 5 Players Is the Sweet Spot

Enough People to Watch

With five players, there are plenty of busts, near misses and triumphant 7s to react to. You are always watching someone about to take a risk.

Quick Rounds

Because everyone plays one round at a time, the game keeps moving. At five, the pace is perfect.

More Action Cards

The action cards are more fun when there are more targets. With five players, you have plenty of people to freeze or torment.

What About 3-4 or 6+?

It works at any size, even up to eighteen. Five is the sweet spot for lively, friendly mischief.
