Fliptoons Review

"Tony tried to say something about the game, but I ignored him (as every member of the staff typically does) and hurried back to my BGQ-bicle to open it up. To my surprise, the game inside wasn't part of the Ulos universe. It was also a small box adorned with cute characters and seemed to only hold a bunch of cards. I was disappointed."

"The premise of Fliptoons is thus: players take on the role of talent agents who are looking for animal actors to fill out the cast of the next great show. To do this, they will need to find new actors to replace the mediocre ones they started with. In game terms, players all have identical starting decks and will use whatever fame (both the game's currency and points) they accumulate each round to buy new cards and get rid of unwanted ones."

A package from Thunderworks contained a small, non-Ulos boxed card game featuring cute characters and mostly cards. Fliptoons is designed by Jordy Adan and Renato Simoes for 1–4 players and plays in about 20 minutes. Players act as talent agents recruiting animal actors to build a cast. Each player starts with identical decks and uses fame — which functions as both currency and points — to buy new cards and trash unwanted ones. Gameplay uses a dealt 3×2 grid of cards in front of each player, with some cards modifying that arrangement.
