The 5 Hows: Flip 7

This is a guide for how to play the game Flip 7.

1. How do I win?
By having the most points at the end of all the rounds. Once someone reaches 200 points, the game ends.

2. How do I get points?
By accumulating cards. Each card has a point value, just add them up each round.

3. How do I get cards?
At the start of each round, the dealer gives each person one card. All cards are dealt face up. And then whoever wants another card, the dealer deals another card. You can keep taking cards if you want, or you can stop with what you have and take those points. If you bust, you don’t get any points. If you make a set of 7, then you end the round.

4. How do you bust?
If you get two cards of the same point value, you bust. The higher the point value of the card, the more of them there are in the deck, so the more likely you are to bust. When you bust, you are done for the round and get no points for that round.

5. How do you make a set of 7 cards?
You get a bonus 15 points if you collect 7 cards of different point values. There are regular number cards and special cards, the special cards do not count toward the set of 7, but they can give you points.

It’s a fairly quick game, not much to it. It leans towards the luck side of things, more than skill, but it’s fun nonetheless.

There, now go play Flip 7.

And I said, “As far as this point you shall come, but no farther; And here your proud waves shall stop”

Job 38:11
