FlipWars is a board game released in 2026 for 2 players, 5–15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Luke Melia.
PLACE - FLIP - CONTROL Every battle has two sides… literally! Place your tiles, flip the battlefield, and outthink your opponent in this fast, tactical 1-on-1 showdown! With multiple game modes - from all-out warfare to capture the flag and tight close-quarters skirmishes - no two battles play the same. Easy to learn, quick to play, and dangerously addictive. Flip fast. Think faster.
FlipWars supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for FlipWars is 5–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists FlipWars for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.

The catalogue lists FlipWars as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
