Flip 7: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Flip 7, with Jack Skellington on the cards and the same terrible decisions on offer.

The push-your-luck card game that has been walking out of the shop all week, in a Nightmare Before Christmas wrapper. Keep flipping cards to build your score, stop before you draw a duplicate and lose the lot, and try to hit seven unique cards for the bonus. Special action cards — Freeze, Flip Three, Second Chance — keep every round unpredictable.

The rules take a minute. The arguments about whether to flip one more take considerably longer.
