I hate to play favorites but . . . I sure love Gamewright games. Actually, until recently, I didn’t realize how many of our games were Gamewright games — see below for a full list. And, I was fortunate to try out their newest game, FlipOut, which is my 9-year old’s favorite game EVER. What’s even better, Gamewright is giving away a FlipOut game to an Imagination Soup reader!
FlipOut
So, FlipOut took AJ about 10 seconds to figure out while I had a bit of a slower learning curve. But, this is why it’s a game for kids — we English major adults are obviously too slow to understand visual discrimination and strategic thinking. Which is what I tell myself every time she beats me.
For the record, I am getting better.
Anyway, the object of the game is to get the most cards.
To Play Flip Out
Put 6 cards into your card holder. You get 2 moves per turn. You can choose to flip, swap, or switch cards to get 4 or more cards next to each other in the same color-pattern to make a set. Above, my daughter is swapping her cards for mine. Below is an example of a 4 card set that I actually got myself. (patting myself on the back)
You might think to yourself, I don’t think that sounds so hard, Melissa, but I am here to tell you — don’t judge me, we all have our areas for growth. This is mine.
Moving on. (And, yes, I happily beat my children at all games. When I can. It’s called live and learn.)
FlipOut is for ages 8 and up (cough, cough) and for 2 – 5 players.

I would say my favorite is Forbidden Island. I am curiuos about Baffler and Rorys Story, Knock your Blocks off and Gubs. I like playing Bingo Link even though I am 43. The kids are fast and Good, but I love to play it with them!
I love strategy and Brain Teasers games the Most!
Good Job Gamewright Games! 🙂
Julie says
I met the inventor of this game at a toy fair and played it with him! So much fun! He was in the process of selling it to Gamewright so I didn’t buy one on the spot, but it has been on my wish list! My kids (and I) LOVE Gamewright. They make some of the most fun and well thought out games!
Laurie says
My kids would love this game- always love that you expose me to so many fun things!
