Flip Ships is a cooperative dexterity game that hands you a ship and an invasion. A massive mother ship looms over the city, wave after wave of fighters pours out, and your pilots have to hold the line until the rest of the fleet is ready. Your ships are tiny discs that you flip to move and shoot, so aiming is a real skill, not a dice roll. Each pilot has a different ability, and you can play solo or with up to four people. It suits families with kids around eight and up as well as grown-up gamers who enjoy flicking things across a table, with a space-battle theme that suits the physical fun. Forty-five minutes of pew-pew teamwork.

Who it's for

You want a cooperative game with real physical skill, for example with kids aged around eight and up and adults who like flicking games.

Not for you if…

You dislike dexterity games or have trouble with small precise movements. The skill element is the whole point.

Vibe's take

Loud, giggly and physical. Every shot is a little skill test, and your teammates will hold their breath when someone lines up a big flip.
