Flip 7, from The Op Games, is designed simple yet incorporates a high level of strategy. The game's novel premise and rich gameplay result from a well-thought-out approach to mechanics and aesthetics, producing a fun and thrilling experience for players of all ages.
The design was first done to make it easy to learn and with a lot of fun to be extracted from the game. The unique deck of 94 cards, which uses numbers and other cards, was specifically propounded to make the game sterile and thoughtful. The particular arrangement of the cards (one 1, two 2's, three 3's, and so on) raises an interesting question of whether it is better to play safely or to try to get more points from the special cards. This conflict is the heart and soul of the game and makes each round of the game interesting and unpredictable.
The game's gameplay, Flip 7, is enhanced by its visual elements. The cards are also lovely, colorful, and made to last long and be easy to use. The feel of the cards and the numbers printed on them are also evident, thus making the game easy to play for prolonged periods, whether it is a relaxed or competitive session.
This fast-paced game, which can be completed in approximately 20 minutes per round, was intentionally developed to require quick decisions and is ideal for use during relaxed moments, such as family meetings or game nights. Flip 7's card interactions were thought through to the last detail, and they create strategic, surprising, and competitive moments within the framework of a short and intense game.
In general, Flip 7 seems to have been created with the idea of combining simplicity and strategy. By taking the structure of a typical card game and adding new and unexpected elements to it, Flip 7 provides a surprisingly exciting experience that can be enjoyable for everyone and for every shuffle of the deck.
