Flip 7 is a push-your-luck card game where players aim to be the first to reach 200 points by collecting unique number cards, scoring points equal to the card’s value, but busting (scoring zero) if they draw a duplicate number; players can “hit” for more cards or “stay” to bank points, with bonuses for collecting seven different number cards and special action cards adding twists to each round.
Objective & Setup
- Goal: Be the first player to score 200+ points.
- Deck: Contains number cards (1-12, with quantity matching value, e.g., twelve 12s, one 1), zeros (worth no points), and special Action/Modifier cards.
- Deal: A dealer gives one card face-up to each player; actions resolve immediately.
- Play: Starts left of the dealer, clockwise.
Gameplay (On Your Turn)
- Hit: Take another card from the dealer.
- Stay: End your turn and bank your points (can’t stay with zero cards).
Scoring & Busting
- Scoring: Sum the values of your unique number cards and modifiers.
- Bust: Draw a duplicate number card (e.g., a second ‘8’), flip all your cards down, score nothing for the round, and you’re out.
Special Cards
- Flip Three: Force another player to reveal three cards (resolving each).
- Freeze: End another player’s turn immediately, forcing them to stay and score.
- Second Chance: Protect yourself from a bust (can be kept, discarded to cancel a bust).
- Score Modifiers: Add to or multiply your score.
