About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a twist on the classic Farkle! Instead of rolling dice, this card-flipping game is all about risk-taking. Farkle Flip is a super dynamic card game where the goal is to be the first to reach 10,000 points (or 5,000/7,500 if you have a large group). Each player starts with one card, but the magic happens because anyone can use cards on the table from any player. On your turn, you draw a card and decide whether to place it in front of yourself or an opponent. The aim is to form scoring combinations: three 1s are worth 300, three 6s give you 600, and six of any number catapult you to 3,000 points! If you create a winning combination, you can slide it to the center of the table to secure the points or leave it there to try and expand it for an even bigger score. You can stop drawing cards at any time and score what's already in the center. But beware! Drawing a "Farkle" card is a disaster: you must stop drawing immediately, the cards in the center become worthless, and they join your face-up cards on the table. You keep your Farkle card aside, and only you can use it to score later. The game is fast-paced, with games lasting around 15 minutes, and the player count is practically unlimited, making it perfect for livening up any gathering. It's pure fun with a touch of luck and plenty of strategy in deciding where to play the right cards.
