Captain Flip (2024)

About this game

Ahoy, Captain! Hoist your flag, recruit a crew, and fill your coffers with shiny, gold coins. Captain Flip is a game of obvious simplicity explained in less time than a cannonball shot. On your turn, draw a tile from the bag. You like it? Keep it! You don't like it? Flip it! Then place it on your board to form your crew. With its nine characters and four boards with different tactics, Captain Flip offers an immediate, fun, and subtle gaming experience. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
