Flip City is a new game that comes in a tiny box, yet finds
itself being high on strategy. This game
is like a push your luck version of Machi Koro.
Now if you are new to our blog, you may not know, but we are huge fans
of Machi Koro. So saying that Flip City
is a mix of any kind with Machi Koro is a huge compliment. The push you luck element of this game is
what makes it fresh and unique.
Much like Machi Koro, your object is to score points by
building a city. However, this is more
about building a city in one turn. See,
every turn you try again to use as many cards as you can in your deck to win on
that hand. You win by scoring 8 points
or playing 18 points.
This game claims to be a 1-4 player game which is true, but
be advised that each players turn can take a while as they are trying to play
finagle their cards in such a manner that they can score as many points as
possible. This takes a lot of back and
forth thinking. “Should I do this? But, wait if I do that then I can play an
extra card here. “ This means that each
turn will be taking a bit of time to get through it. Some could say this makes for a slow game,
but I would say it makes for a great conversation or relaxed game as the other
players waiting for their turn can chit chat more while they are waiting.
It should also be noted that the cards are beautiful. I really enjoy the artwork here, and am
impressed by the fun look and feel of the game.
All in all, I would say this is a delightful game that will
require some deep level strategy which is a good thing. Thus we have a great game in a little
box. How cool is that?
