How to play Flip 7, in brief
Flip 7 is about knowing when to stop: you flip cards to build a total, and a number you already have busts you.
- Deal one card eachThe dealer gives everyone a card face up, the dealer included.
- Hit or stayIn turn, take another face-up card or stay and keep what you have. Draw a number you already hold and you bust, scoring nothing this round.
- Use the action cardsFreeze and Flip Three go on any player still in, yourself included: Freeze makes them stay, Flip Three makes them take 3 cards. Keep a Second Chance to cancel one bust.
- End the round, play to 200A round ends when everyone has stayed or busted, or at once when someone has 7 different numbers. After the round that takes anyone to 200, the highest total wins.
Bank your numbers before you bust.
Only what is in front of you when you stay, or when the round ends, scores, and a bust scores nothing. The order you add things in matters, because the x2 doubles only your number cards.

The publisher’s rules pages would not load for us, so the scoring follows Board Game Arena’s help page and RulesPal’s copy of the rulebook, which doubles the number cards before adding the rest. By that order the 15 for a Flip 7 is never doubled. Ties at the top are left to the table: the rules give no tiebreaker. Rules checked on 19 October 2026 against Board Game Arena and RulesPal.
