Do you like to play cards? Well, FLIP7™ creates an entirely new experience when it comes to playing cards! So simple yet deceiving; perhaps that is what is the foundation of the magic that puts a spell on you with this game.
FLIP7™ is one of the very best card games we have received in years! Practically everything from the creative agenda, with its narrative progression, to the highly detailed and colorful cards ensures that a player will remain engaged not just for a single game, but for game after game, and that more players are eager to join in.
You start with a simple challenge as you suddenly embark on a journey of using your intellectual skills, combined with the unexpected moments that arise from the modifier cards and the special action cards. All the while, as you flip cards one by one without flipping the same number twice, you determine whether to bank points or take a dare and shoot for bonus points. Although you tell yourself otherwise, the game has already captured your attention, and your drive to win is heightened all the more.

Game Components
The game components are so simple: 94 colorful and detailed cards and 1 set of rules. Couldn't get much simpler!
Simple, Detailed Design, Yet Challenging
In Flip 7™ there's only a single 1 card, two 2's, three 3’s, etc. Then you have a bunch of Modifier Cards & Special Cards that can score you extra points or give you a second chance. This is a simple game of chance that ensures there are no repeats and that know-it-alls are subject to chance, not logic.
EDITOR'S NOTE: " As the editor here, I never imagined that such a simple idea as a card game could bring the creative narrative that Flip 7™ delivers to the table. In addition, it guarantees repetitive play because the probability of a game being repeated is near impossible. It's purely a game of unpredictable chance. Logic has no bearing on it. It is pure random chance that elevates your gameplay to hilarious new levels of excitement.
The Core Structure of Flip 7™
Your goal in Flip 7™ is to be the first player to score 200 points. You score points based on the total number value of the cards in front of you. The more valuable a card is, the more copies of that card there are in the deck. If you can successfully Flip 7 unique Number cards into your line, you automatically end the round for everyone and score 15 bonus points. However, if you ever draw a second card with the same number as one already in your line, well, you are out of the round and gain no points.
As the dealer gives cards out to each player with each round, you can possibly get a Modifier Card or a Special Action Card. A Modifier Card doesn't count as a unique number. The Special Action Cards can give you a Second Chance or even Freeze you or your opponents!
Modifier & Special Action Cards
As mentioned earlier, you have the Modifier Cards and the Special Action Cards. Each of these cards has specific features that can make a significant difference in your game. Just imagine, some of the cards can give you more points while others can freeze you and your opponents in your tracks!
Why FLIP 7™ is a "STEM" Game
Flip 7™ is considered a "STEM" game because its core mechanics inherently involve the application of mathematical concepts, logical thinking, and probability, which are foundational elements of science, technology, engineering, and math.
Science | Technology | Engineering | Math
Here is How Flip 7™ Aligns With STEM Principles:
Mathematics (Probability & Statistics): The central mechanic of the game is the player's continuous assessment of probability. As more cards are drawn in a round, players mentally calculate the odds of drawing a duplicate number and "busting." This constant risk assessment is a direct application of statistics and probability in real-time play
Engineering & Technology (System Analysis): Players engage in basic system analysis by evaluating the current state of their drawn cards (the numbers they have) and strategically deciding the next action based on the potential outcomes
Science (Hypothesis & Risk Assessment): The "press your luck" element involves forming a rapid "hypothesis" about whether the next card will be a safe, unique number or a bust. This requires critical thinking and risk assessment, mirroring the calculated risks taken in scientific experimentation
Logic & Decision-Making: Strategic gameplay involves weighing potential rewards (more points) against potential losses (busting and losing all points for the round). This develops logical reasoning skills and an understanding of expected value, key skills in all STEM fields
