Description

Flip Four is a set of four games, all of which are played with 49 of the cards from a standard deck, placed in a 7x7 grid. They also share the central mechanism, which is turning over a card which is in the same row or column as a card of the same suit or rank.

• In Matchline a token moves to a matching card and then the previous card is flipped. The goal is to flip as many cards as possible. If more than one person plays they each need their own deck and compete to get the best score for the same layout.

• Connections is the same as Matchline except that any card with a match may be flipped; there is no token.

• Saboteur is for three players, who are dealt three specific removed cards. One card designates the saboteur, who scores for cards not flipper, while the other two players score for flipped cards. If two players vote that the third is the saboteur the accused player must stop playing.

• Cross/Block is for two players: one tries to connect two opposite edges with a chain of flipped cards and the other tries to prevent this.
