Number Flip guide
Find 1, then 2, then 3: flip the numbers in order and outscore the table.
How to play Number Flip
- Choose Singleplayer to play against memory bots, Local to pass one device around, or Online for 2-4 players.
- The board holds 12, 20, 30 or 36 cards numbered from 1 upwards, shuffled face down. It grows with the table (20 cards for 2 players, 30 for 3, 36 for 4), and in online games the host can pick another size before the first flip.
- Everyone shares one sequence that starts at 1. On your turn, flip the card you think shows the next number.
- If it is the next number, it stays face up, you score a point and you flip again. If not, everyone sees it briefly, it flips back and the turn passes.
- When the last number is found, the player with the most points wins.
Rules
- Only the current next number scores; any other card is a miss and ends your turn.
- The sequence is shared: a miss never resets it, so the next player continues from the same number.
- Each correct card is worth one point and earns an immediate extra flip.
- If the top score is shared, the game is a draw between those players.
Tips and strategy
- Watch every miss, not just your own: each one tells you where a higher number is hiding.
- Keep a mental list of the next few numbers you have seen, so a streak can carry on for several flips.
- When the next number is unknown, guess cards nobody has flipped yet instead of ones you know are wrong.
- Bigger boards reward memory; on 12 cards, luck and quick streaks matter more.
