Flip Voyage is a thematic flip-and-write game designed by Steven Aramini that takes players into the imaginative world of Jules Verne's classic novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. As members of Captain Nemo's crew, players command their own version of the Nautilus submarine, explore the ocean depths, discover dangers and opportunities, and strive to earn the greatest fame and prestige.
Flip Voyage uses an engaging combination of card play and marking results on a player board (flip-and-write). In each round, players reveal three cards from a standard deck of playing cards:
- one card determines the destination or movement,
- one card determines the area of activity or crew order,
- one card activates the chosen action.
Throughout the game, players explore an ocean map, gather resources, unlock upgrades, and create efficient combinations of actions. A unique feature of the game is its dual-purpose track, which measures both the distance traveled and the player's notoriety. When these two markers meet, the end of the game is triggered. The game also includes a solo mode in which players are pursued by the hostile commander Farragut.
Flip Voyage is an appealing underwater adventure that combines exploration, submarine development, and meaningful decision-making in an elegant flip-and-write format. ⚓🐙🌊
