Captain Flip

Fast paced and enjoyable. Learned within minutes, fun for many hours. Push your luck with a little memory element. Little interaction between players, but a lot of "what would I do with this tile" discussion, sprinkled with some "I told you so" remarks :) Sleak game design, wonderful!

One of the best and most family-friendly games I own. It's incredibly easy but still requires some strategy. All the games I've played have had very close scores, so I think it's well balanced. It should have a much higher score on BGG. I legitimately think this is a perfect game.

Easy to setup, easy to explain, easy to grasp by kids, short playing time, only pluses so far! There is some luck involved, sure, but, for me, a casual gamer, this is a masterpiece!

Wonderful family weight game with a single unique game mechanism. Spiel de Jahres? This game hits the bullseye for its target audience which is more than can be said for 80% of board games published today. Is it deep in strategy? No. Is it very lucky? Yes. I would not like to play a board game with anyone who can't appreciate the simplistic pleasure of Captain Flip. Every gamer should own a copy.

An incredible little game that is perfect for what it offers. The art is outstanding, the game plays quickly and is addictingly satisfying, and every single turn is a tough choice as you decide whether to take the current character you drew or decide to flip them to an unknown character (and be forced to keep that other side). It's a tiny bit of push your luck, and it's so fun every time. Placing the tiles on your board is a bit of push your luck as well depending on the board scoring objectives, as you might try to create different sets and combinations of placements. I love this game and would love for them to add some expansion boards!
