Flip! An original 2-player strategy game

Choose your pattern, flip the board and out-think your rival: Flip! is a fresh abstract strategy game with every move reshaping the endgame.

Flip! is an original abstract strategy game in which every move can dramatically change the balance of the board. Players take turns selecting one of their limited pattern tokens and placing it anywhere on the 7 × 7 grid, flipping the affected tiles from red to blue or blue to red.

Each player has two of five token types: Vertical Column, Horizontal Row, Rising Diagonal, Falling Diagonal and Circle. Choosing the right token, placement and timing is crucial: a seemingly powerful move may also create the perfect opportunity for an opponent.

The board begins as a red-and-blue checkerboard with one neutral white centre square. The centre remains white unless it is targeted directly, adding another tactical objective. After all 20 tokens have been used, the player with the most tiles in their colour wins.

Features include:

• An original, deeply strategic two-player abstract game
• A 7 × 7 checkerboard with a unique neutral centre tile
• Five distinct token patterns: vertical, horizontal, two diagonals and a 3 × 3 circle effect
• Two of each token per player, creating a fixed 20-move contest
• Place tokens anywhere on the board and in any order
• Live Red, Blue and White tile counts
• Optional affected-square previews before committing to a move
• Optional ripple animation to make each flip easy to follow
• Full move history and an Undo button for exploring tactics or discussing decisions
• Human-versus-Human play, plus Easy, Medium and Hard computer opponents
