Flinch

Around the table the piles grow, card by card, from 1 to 15. Everyone keeps a close eye on their own set of cards and looks for the right moment to play one. Flinch is all about timing and a bit of nerve. Do you wait a little longer, or do you throw that card down now? The result is a fun race in which nobody sits still. Each player starts with five cards in hand and a pile of ten cards that you have to get rid of first. Only the top card is face up, so you never know exactly what lies beneath. Do you play a card, or set it aside in one of your reserve piles? Those choices make it exciting, because everyone is trying to empty their pile at the same time. With room for one to as many as eight players, Flinch is a great choice for an evening together. Everyone from seven years and up can join in, and after about twenty minutes you know who conquered the table fastest. Perfect for a quick game that begs to be played again.
