Flip Seven

A browser-based implementation of Flip Seven, a fast push-your-luck card game for 2-8 players.

The goal is simple: build points without drawing a duplicate number in the same round. If you hit a duplicate, you bust and lose your round points.

Game Objective

• Reach 200 total points to trigger game end.
• When at least one player reaches 200, the player with the highest total score wins.

How the Game Works

Each round, players take turns choosing to:

• Draw card: take one card from the deck.
• Bank points: lock in your current round points and sit out for the rest of the round.

The round ends when all players are either:

• banked (safe_points), or
• frozen.

At round end, round points are added to total score (with x2 applied if active).

Cards in the Deck

• Number cards (0-12)

  • There are N copies of number N (for example, seven 7s, twelve 12s).
  • Draw a number you do not already have in your hand: add it to your round score.
  • Draw a duplicate number in the same round: you bust (unless Second Chance is active).

• Second Chance (sc)

  • Protects you from one duplicate number draw.
  • The duplicate is ignored and the Second Chance is consumed.

• x2 (x2)

  • Doubles your banked round score at end of round.

• Freeze (fr)

  • Choose a player to freeze for the rest of the round.

• Flip 3 (flip3)

  • Choose a player who must draw 3 cards immediately.

• Bonus cards (+2, +4, +6, +8, +10, +12)

  • Add instant points to your current round score.

Extra Rule in This Version

• Collect 7 unique number cards in a round to gain a +15 bonus, then you are automatically locked/banked for that round.
