Flip-7 is a bit like Blackjack/21 (using 'hit' or 'stay') but modified to use a different number of cards. In this game there's a deck of 94 cards used, comprised of x12 twelves, x11 elevens, x10 tens... all the way down to x1 one and x1 zero. Your goal is to try to get seven distinct values without ever being dealt two of the same values you already have in front of you. To add to the excitement, there's three action cards and also modifier cards that directly augment your score -- you sum the values of the cards you have first if you decided to stay with your present cards, then augment the score with your bonus cards. You play the deck until you run out of your draw stock, then reshuffle the discard pile to form a new draw stock. First player to 200 points wins!
Card quality is about what you would expect of standard playing cards. There's a different color used for each number, with each value actually spelled out on the cards for excellent readability. I'd call it colorblind-friendly, certainly!
This game can be played with up to 18 players and if you want to add +18 more all you need to do is shuffle two the decks of two game copies together, and you're off to the races on a fast-paced, blast to play game. It's got a small form factor and it's cheap enough in price to perhaps stock up on a few copies of the game in case your group has a little too much fun with it.
Definitely would recommend this one!
