## Description
Get ready for a spine-chilling adventure with Jack Skellington and the Halloweentown gang in Flip 7: The Nightmare Before Christmas! In this press-your-luck card game, you'll join the mischievous plans to take over Christmas. The goal is to collect presents, represented by the numbers on the cards you flip. The more presents a card has, the more points it's worth, but beware: the more valuable it is, the more copies of it exist in the deck, increasing the risk of you 'busting' and losing everything in the round! If you flip a second card with the same number of presents as one already in your line, it's game over for you in that round, with no score. But not all is lost! Zero, the loyal ghost companion, has a special ability that can save you: you can swap him with any other face-up card in your line, giving you that golden chance to avoid a bust. It's a fast, fun, and tense game, perfect for those who love a good 'push your luck' with a dark and festive twist!
