About the game
Flippin' Fruit is a fruit-themed dice and card game for 2-4 players. Players want to score as many PIPS (i.e., points) as they can by rolling and "flipping" the custom 12-sided dice to match the fruit symbols rolled to the fruit symbols on smoothie and fruit salad cards. Each turn, a player performs three actions, with the action choices being: Return up to five fruit dice — not including those showing rotten tomatoes — to the dice cup and reroll those dice. Return all fruit dice showing rotten tomatoes to the dice cup and reroll those dice. Draw a card from the fruit basket deck; cards are either "Flippin' Fruit" cards that allow you to choose a fruit face to "flip" a die to or "Juicy"/"Rotten" cards that improve your turn or mess up an opponent's turn. Each card has a PIP value, and after eight rounds, all players total their PIPS and the highest score wins. Rules available in English, French, Dutch, German, Czech and Swedish.
