About this game

Draw a crew tile from the bag, decide whether to keep it or flip it to its other side, then place it on your ship board. Captain Flip delivers push-your-luck charm in its simplest possible form: each tile has two sides with different crew abilities, and choosing which to use creates just enough decision-making to stay engaging. Complete rows and columns for bonuses, and use crew powers to manipulate your board. Teaches faster than a cannonball and plays in twenty minutes.
