Flip 7, the press-your-luck card game that dominated 2025 with an Origins Best Party Game win and a Spiel des Jahres nomination, is getting the full franchise treatment. The Op Games has put four licensed editions up for preorder, and the crossovers range from wholesome to deeply weird.
The lineup includes Flip 7: Hello Kitty arriving in July 2026, Flip 7: The Nightmare Before Christmas in August, Flip 7: National Parks joining the roster, and Flip 7: Liquid Death landing somewhere in Q3. A Grinch edition hit mass retail in late 2025 as the first licensed version and is still available at most retailers.
Each edition keeps the same core gameplay that made the original a hit: flip cards, push your luck, try not to bust. The licensed versions retheme the cards and art to match their respective brands while keeping the rules accessible enough for anyone to pick up. At under $10 a pop, they sit squarely in impulse-buy territory.
It is a smart play by The Op Games. Flip 7 proved it could sell to the mass market, shifting enough units to become Walmart's Game of the Month and topping bestseller lists across the hobby. Whether Hello Kitty fans and canned-water enthusiasts overlap with the board gaming crowd is anyone's guess, but at this price point, it barely matters.
If you are looking to introduce friends to tabletop gaming, a $10 card game with a familiar face on the box is a solid entry point. Find a game night near you and bring one along.
