Let's create your own pirate crew!
Flip the tiles and gather your allies!
A tile-placement game that's perfect for families and gamers alike!
A finalist for the 2024 German Game of the Year Award!
"Captain Flip ~Let's Make Your Own Pirate Crew!~" is a fast-paced and deep game where players become the captain of a pirate ship, gather crew members, and acquire treasure.
Gunners, navigators, lookouts, cooks, cartographers, and even parrots and monkeys!? Place unique character tiles on the board and use their effects to earn coins.
Just draw a tile, flip it over, and place it!
The unique point of "Captain Flip" is that you can flip over the tile you drew from the bag if you don't like it! However, once you flip a tile, you can't put it back! That's why the exciting decision of "Should I use it as is? Or should I boldly flip it over?" awaits you every time.
The placement of the pieces on the board affects both the effect and the score.
You can also earn additional bonuses by placing tiles all the way to the top of the column.
You can enjoy a different adventure every time!
The adventure board comes in 4 different types. Each time you play, the configuration is different, requiring a new strategy.
It's packed with features that make you want to play it again and again, whether you're with family or with your board game friends.
Customer feedback from those who tried the game at Game Market 2025 Spring.
- "It's fun to earn points using tiles, like combining tiles and placing artillerymen. It was fun to play with my younger brother and father. I enjoy fighting over the map." (Elementary school boy)
- "I thought I was losing until halfway through, but it was good that there was a chance to turn things around. The gacha element of not knowing what card you'll draw is what makes it fun!" (Male in his 20s)
