FlipJacks

FlipJacks is a two- to four-player game in which players flip pancakes to make stacks of breakfast deliciousness. Get your cooked pancake on top of a stack of two other cooked pancakes and win!

The game includes three variations: standard pancake flipping, blueberry pancake, and pancake orders.

You want your personal pancake on top of the largest stack of cooked pancakes.

A stack of at least two cooked pancakes can win it for you, but once you're on top, other players get one last chance to flip onto a taller stack or flip an uncooked pancake on top of your stack.

At the start of each game, players take one of the colored, player pancake cards. The other pancake cards are then scattered in the middle of the table either with the "uncooked" or "cooked" side up. None of the pancake cards should be touching.

The spatula card is handed to the first player.

On a player's turn, they can do one of the following using the spatula card:

• flip their player card from the edge of the table onto the table; or
• flip any of the other pancake cards from the table.

To flip a card, players must use the spatula card. The spatula must be placed under your personal pancake or a regular pancake, but the flip can include any number of regular pancakes and blueberries. You cannot flip another player's personal pancake or stack on which they're on top.

If a player's personal pancake lands cooked-side-up on top of a stack of at least two other pancakes (or blueberries), and the stack is the largest on the table, each other player gets one more turn to: ruin the stack by flipping an uncooked pancake on top, get their personal pancake on top of the same stack, get on top of a taller stack.

The game ends, if the player remains on top.
