  • Have something ready to track player scores
  • Shuffle the deck thoroughly
  • Choose one player to be the Dealer for the round

If you are playing with more than 18 players, the rules recommend using a second deck.

Flip 7 is a press-your-luck game played over a series of rounds. During a round, you are trying to collect valuable cards without drawing a duplicate Number card.

At the start of the round, the Dealer deals 1 card face up to each player, including themself. If an Action card is dealt, pause immediately and resolve it before continuing the deal.

After the opening deal, the Dealer offers each active player a choice in turn order:

  • Hit: take another card
  • Stay: leave the round and bank your points

A round ends as soon as one of these conditions is met:

  • There are no active players because everyone has either busted or stayed
  • A player has reached 7 unique Number cards

Players who have stayed or been frozen score their banked points. Players who busted score 0 for the round.

After the round is scored:

  • Set all cards from the round aside
    • Do not shuffle them back into the deck yet
  • Pass the remaining deck to the left
  • The new Dealer begins the next round
  • If the deck runs out, shuffle the discarded cards to form a new deck
    • If this happens mid-round, leave all cards in front of players where they are, including cards in front of players who have busted

The game ends at the end of a round when at least one player has reached 200 points.

The player with the most points wins.
