## Description
In Fish 'n' Flip, players team up (or compete!) to rescue marine life caught in fishing nets. The core idea is to form patterns with the sea creatures, arranged in a grid. On each turn, you play an action card to swap their positions or flip them to face the correct way. When a group of identical animals is aligned and facing the same direction, poof! They escape! But beware, those above them fall down, Tetris-style, potentially creating new escape opportunities or complicating matters. With each round, more animals appear at the top of the columns, and if any column reaches seven cards high, everyone loses. The goal is to free as many creatures as possible, either in cooperative mode, where everyone wins or loses together, or competitive mode, where each player counts their own rescues. The game also features a campaign that gradually increases the difficulty. In advanced levels, animals gain special abilities that can help or hinder, and trash cards are introduced, disrupting patterns and blocking abilities. It's a quick, thematic cooperative puzzle, perfect for those who enjoy group thinking and giving a helping hand to the environment (in the game, of course!).
