FlipToons | How to Play | Learn to Play in 6 Minutes!

Hello everybody. My name is Ilia and my name is Tyler. Together makeup co, a couple that loves to play board games. And today we'll be teaching you how to play Flip Tunes. Flip Tunes is designed by Jordi Adon and Rnado Samoy. It's published by Thunderworks Games who help sponsor this video. Let's go to the table and let's learn how to play.

As always, you'll begin by setting up. Each player will receive a reference card, a fame card, and a starting deck of six cards. Two caterpillars, one skunk, one dragonfly, one bee, and one snail. You'll return any unused starting cards back to the box. You'll then create the market. You'll place the five price cards face up in the center of the table in ascending order from left to right.

You'll shuffle the tune cards and place the deck face down next to the price cards. You'll reveal five cards and sort them by rank in ascending order. Finally, you'll place a critic's choice card nearby. Give the player who most recently watched a cartoon the first player card, and you're now ready to play.

Flip Dunes is played over a series of rounds where you'll work to cast the next great animated show. Each round, players will simultaneously flip cards into a 2x3 grid in front of them. They'll calculate the fame and in turn order use the fame to hire new tunes or dismiss tunes from their grid. Once a player has generated 30 fame in one round, all players will do a final flip.

At this point, the player with the most fame wins. Let's give you a detailed rundown of the round. Each round will consist of four phases. Flip, check, fame, market, and clean up. Let's go over them. Flip. This phase will be played simultaneously. First, you'll shuffle your deck of tune cards face down.

Then, you'll reveal cards one at a time, creating a 3x two grid. You'll place your cards starting on the top row, left to right, top to bottom. Now, each time you reveal a card, if the card has an action word like flip or stack, you'll resolve them immediately. Here are a couple of examples. If the monkey is placed in the upper row, you'll move this card to the row above.

This does mean your grid will likely have more than six cards. When the snake is placed, you'll dismiss the top card of your deck and stack the top card from the tune deck onto this card. When stacking, you'll place cards that the fame and abilities are visible on both cards. These cards share the same spot and are not adjacent to each other.

When playing the elephant, you'll flip the previously placed card. The flip card will not generate fame this round. Finally, if you don't have enough cards to fill your grid, you'll simply reveal as many as possible. After placement, you'll move on to the next phase, check fame. At the same time as other players, you'll check your grid of tunes and determine how much fame they've generated.

You'll do this by reviewing each card's fame value and capturing the total with your reference and fame cards. Now, some toune cards will have abilities that will vary the amount of fame you're able to gather from them round to round. Here are a few examples. The dragonfly will grant you one fame per unique adjacent card.

Each card has to be different, and adjacent means next to diagonals do not count. The bull grants you three initial fame and seven more if one or more cards in your grid are face down. You can now see how some cards can synergize with each other. The tiger will grant you three initial fame and one additional fame per card in your dismissed cards pile.

You saw an example of how cards are dismissed earlier. We'll talk about the primary method to dismiss cards in the market phase. Lastly, I'll mention again the game end trigger here. If one player gathers 30 fame during the check fame phase, they'll collect the critic's choice card and trigger the game end.

If multiple players reach or surpass 30, the critic's choice card will be returned to the box, but the game end will still trigger, you'll complete this round and perform a final flip to see who is the winner. But more on that in a moment. Let's now jump into the market phase. Here, starting the first player and going clockwise, you'll each spend your fame to perform up to two actions.

There are two actions you can take. Hire a tune or dismiss a tune. You may perform one of these actions twice or one of each each round. You can also choose to perform only one action or skip the actions altogether. Hire tune. You'll take one tune card from the market, spending fame equal to the cost on the price card above.

You'll add the hired card to your deck of unrevealed tune cards. Some cards will have one hired abilities, which you'll activate. Now, dismiss a tune. As an action, you can dismiss one tune card in your own grid for five fame. You may not dismiss cards in other players grids. A dismiss card is permanently removed from the game.

You'll place this into your own dismiss pile next to your deck. Some cards will reference dismiss cards, so make sure to keep them nearby. Lastly, you may not dismiss cards if it means having less than four cards in your deck. At the end of the market phase, if you've hired a tune, you'll refill the market.

You'll draw back up to five cards and arrange them again in order so the lowest rank is on the left and the highest is on the right. It's now the next player's turn. After everyone's completed the market phase, it's time for the cleanup phase. All players will collect all their cards from their grid and add them back to their deck.

In a two-player game, you'll discard the left and rightmost cards and draw two new cards, giving a refresh to the market. This is the only difference for a two-player game. If no player has reached 30 fame, you'll pass the first player marker and repeat. If any one player did generate 30 fame, you'll proceed to complete the final flip.

In the final flip, you'll all compete one last flip phase and check your fame. Don't forget, the player with the critic's choice card will get an additional three fame. You'll compare your fame, and the player with the most wins. In case of a tie, the tied players will shuffle their decks and complete an additional flip phase.

You'll keep going until a winner has been determined. And that's flip tunes. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments down below, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
