Flip poker cards to determine how you explore a wild west town. 1-4 Players | 30-45 Mins | Ages 12+ Features: End Game Bonuses, Paper-and-Pencil, Solo / Solitaire Game, Tech Trees / Tech Tracks, Track Movement Theme: American West, Print & Play Description: Fliptown is a flip-and-write game in which you are trying to earn stars by exploring a wild west town.
The game uses a standard poker deck to drive an open world-style of game play, along with dry erase boards that serve as each player's map. Each turn, flip over three cards, assigning one card to represent your suit, one card to represent your value, and one card to represent your poker card.
The suit dictates which of four regions you activate, the value dictates which site within that region you get to circle, and the poker card goes toward a five-card poker hand that is resolved at the end of each round. Each of the four regions Trail, Badlands, Mine, and Town offers a different puzzle to master, while each site within a region delivers a unique reward such as cash, gold, helpful items like guns, horses as well as tools, or bonus actions to create powerful combinations.
For solo play, you can play to achieve a high score or compete against one of four "cowbot" robot opponents, each including its own motivation. For multiplayer play, players use "community cards" in the center of play, with players resolving each turn simultaneously.
Additionally, bounty cards add competitive goals that players are racing to achieve. In addition to the standard game, you can play as one of 14 wild west characters.
Each character has a unique set of starting resources along with a unique special ability. Awards & Honors: 2024 Bulgarian Board Game Awards Advanced Game of the Year Nominee 2023 Golden Geek Best Print & Play Board Game Nominee Vendor: Write Stuff Games
