Toys and Games Reviews of Flinch
Customer Review: Fun for the whole family
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a game I enjoyed as a child and as an adult I still to rate it as one of my favorites. My parents continued to use their old set until the cards became so brittle from old age they were afraid we'd destroy them. We searched for many years for a new set but were unable to find the game anywhere. As a last resort and in a desperate attempt to preserve this valued family game, my mother actually laminated each card so that we could continue to use them. My children have come to love it as much as I do.The beauty of the game is that it is simple enough for younger players but yet challenging for an adult. In fact, my children often beat me! I think I've checked all possible moves and I lay my card down on my discard pile, I get "flinched" and I get the penalty of having to add that player's discard pile on top of my own! This adds excitement to the game - just when you think you're winning because your cards are about gone you get flinched and suddenly someone else may be the winner.
Needless to change we are THRILLED to see the game is back on the market (or at least we've finally found it). I've ordered several to give this Christmas. I can't wait to see the surprised look on my mother's face when she opens this gift!
Description of Flinch
Generation upon generation have enjoyed Flinch since it was first introduced in 1905. Now it's back, and better than ever, bringing with it fond memories of great fun. All you have to do to win is get rid of the 10 cards in your stockpile. You'll do this by playing them in numerical sequence--whenever possible--onto the play piles in the center of the table. Sounds simple, doesn't it' Or is it' Flinch set includes rules for 5 great Flinch variations, including Flinch 2000--a "zestier" way to play with new "wild" cards, a solitaire game and a special version just for kids. Introduce this beloved card game classic to your family today! Includes 3 decks (144 cards in all) and illustrated rules and history of Flinch. For 1-8 players.Almost a century old, Flinch is the seemingly simple but surprisingly difficult card game in which players attempt to discard from their stockpiles of 10 cards by playing them in numerical sequence (when possible). Sure, it sounds like a round of this could be over in minutes, but it never turns out that way. The original, handsome design of the cards is still intact, but the makers of the game have come up with some additional contests for modern folk, including Flinch 2000, with wild cards. There's also a solitaire version and one just for kids. --Tom Keogh
