Dinsun Review
Solitaire is the ultimate time-waster, and I've played every iteration known to man. Flipflop is interesting because it breaks the cardinal rule of stacking. At first, it feels like cheating—stacking a 7 on an 8 then an 8 on a 7? It feels wrong. But then you realize Gage has just widened the bottleneck. It’s less about the 'luck of the draw' and more about how you choose to organize your mess.
It’s a quiet game. No loud music, no flashing lights. I appreciate that. It doesn't demand my full attention, but it rewards it. It’s not a revolutionary step for card games, but it’s a smart tweak. It's a bit too easy on the lower suit levels, though. Once you get the hang of the 'flip-flopping,' the early game becomes a bit of a formality. Good for a quick session, but unlikely to be your main game.
