Ahoy, Captain!
*Hoist your flag, recruit a crew, and fill your coffers with shiny, gold coins.
Captain Flip is a game of obvious simplicity explained in less time than a cannonball shot. On your turn, draw a tile from the bag. You like it? Keep it! You don't like it? Flip it! Then place it on your board to form your crew.
It is a family game about tile placement, memory and push your luck. Players have their own boards which they will fill up with tiles. Each turn a player draws a tile, seeing only the front and must decide to add the tile with the revealed face, or flip it; however, once flipped it is mandatory to use the other side. Tiles have a variety of effects, either immediate or triggered at the end of the game. The goal is to gain the most gold, which most tiles give, plus different boards have different additional ways to score. When someone fills 4 columns of their board, the game will end as soon as everyone had the same number of turns. Final scoring happens (and one or more player may be eliminated if they are showing 3 or more Gunners) and then the person with the most points/gold is the winner!
With its nine characters and four boards with different tactics, Captain Flip offers an immediate, fun, and subtle gaming experience.

We would like to thank a lot the PlayPunk publishing team, as well as the game designers Remo Conzadori and Paolo Mori. And let's send more love to Moof who did the adaptation for BGA: it works very well on most devices!
