Fliptown is a flip & write game in which you are trying to earn stars by exploring a wild west town. The game uses a standard poker deck to drive an open world-style of game play, along with dry erase boards or print-and-play sheets that serves as each player's map.
Each turn, flip over 3 cards, assigning one card to represent your suit, one card to represent your value, and one card to represent your poker card. The suit dictates which of four regions you’ll activate, the value dictates which site within that region you get to circle and the poker card will go toward a five-card poker hand that is resolved at the end of each round.
Each of the four regions - Trail, Badlands, Mine and Town - offers a different puzzle to master, while each site within a region provides a unique reward such as cash, gold, helpful items like guns, horses and tools, or bonus actions to create powerful combinations

5.0 - My absolutely favorite games. You can pry them out of my cold dead hands.
4.5 - Love this game! At the same time missing something that would make it a 5. Could be hard to table, lacking variability, a little light, etc.
4.0 - Really great game, almost always keeping, although has meaningful complaints as to what takes away from the experience.
3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, may lose out to better games but the idea of never playing again is a bit sad.
3.0 - A good game, would play and suggest with the right people, if I never played it again wouldn't lose any sleep.
2.5 - A game I'd play again , but will never suggest it myself
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again
1.5 - A game I can't find any reason to recommend
1.0 - A game that is just bad.

Hey thanks for reviewing this! I've been curious about it. I'm now looking forward to adding it to my collection once it hits retail. ;)

[@dustinfreund5196]

I'm finally starting to get into R&W games, thanks to Longshot. This looks really interesting - thanks for the heads up!

[@BoardGameCo]

It's solid :)

[@starshocker]

I love a good and solid W&R and this game looks interesting regardless of pros and cons. Might add it to my shelf someday. Thanks for the review of this game.

[@BoardGameCo]

Absolutely :)

[@taba1208]

In the R&W genre, are you keeping in your collection or passing? it's a different kind of game than WL, so I think there's definitely space for both if the R&W experience is of the same quality as welcome to and the like. thanks for your thoughts!

[@ChadHensley]

Lots of roll/flip and writes lately. Always a sucker for a western theme, but I'll stick with Western Legends for now. Thanks for the insight!

[@BoardGameCo]

Yep :) depends what comes through at any point

[@reznor_59]

Are the player boards dry erase? If so have you heard any rumors that they may become paper, single use?
What are you thinking about replayability? Love me some something and write games!

[@BoardGameCo]

I haven't heard anything to indicate one way or the other that they'll change. As far as replayability, similar to any of these types of games.

[@mattyweaves]

I was very excited until I saw the markers and dry erase board. I'm guessing that's just the way things are going, but I really prefer paper pads. I think it's a tactile thing for me, but do you prefer one over the other?

[@BoardGameCo]

I don't have a strong preference...both work fine for me and have pros and cons

[@stevenaramini7435]

There will be a print and play pledge if you aren't opposed to printing the game sheets yourself. Plus the game uses a standard poker deck, too, so you could even supply your own deck.

[@JosephFlemming]

I prefer markers and laminated boards or sheets. Reuse!!!

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

The cards are nice.

[@BoardGameCo]

Yep, adds a fun element to it

[@justinrrizzo]

Luck? I'll trade for this instead of backing it. Thanks for the good overview.
