Flip7 Card Game

Flip 7 — The Card Game That Makes You Question Everything

Press your luck. Bank your points. Don't bust.

Flip 7 is a push-your-luck card game designed by Eric Olsen and published by The Op Games. The concept is beautifully simple: be the first player to reach 200 points across multiple rounds by collecting as many valuable cards as possible — without duplicating a number card. Official Game Rules

There's only one 1 card, two 2s, three 3s, four 4s, and so on — the more valuable the card, the more copies exist in the deck. Every flip is a decision. Keep going and risk everything, or bank what you have and live to fight another round. 

How it works

Each turn you choose: flip another card and push your luck, or stay and bank your points. Go bust by drawing two of the same number and you score nothing for that round. But collect 7 different numbers without busting and the round ends immediately — with a 15-point bonus on top. 

Sprinkled through the deck are action cards that keep everyone on their toes — Freeze forces a player to bank their points and sit out the round, Flip Three makes a player draw three more cards immediately, and Second Chance saves you from a single bust. 

Why everyone loves Flip7

Flip 7 was nominated for the 2025 Spiel des Jahres — the most prestigious award in board gaming — and it's easy to see why. With simple rules, big decisions, and plenty of tension on every card flip, this game is easy to learn but hard to put down. Rounds take around 20 minutes, making it perfect for a quick game or back-to-back sessions.
