The beauty of the game is that it is simple enough for younger players but yet challenging for an adult. In fact, my children often beat me! I think I've checked all possible moves and I lay my card down on my discard pile, I get "flinched" and I get the penalty of having to add that player's discard pile on top of my own! This adds excitement to the game - just when you think you're winning because your cards are about gone you get flinched and suddenly someone else may be the winner.

Needless to change we are THRILLED to see the game is back on the market (or at least we've finally found it). I've ordered several to give this Christmas. I can't wait to see the surprised look on my mother's face when she opens this gift!

Fabulously Fun!  Aug 13, 1999

I was delighted to discover that this game is still in print! My twin brother and I used to play this game with our grandparents in the 1950s, and always ended up screaming with laughter! It is as much fun now as it was then!

Flinch Card Game  Feb 21, 2000

I stumbled onto Flinch while looking through the games for aChristmas gift for my daughter. I hadn't heard of or thought ofFlinch since I was a child, when I played it with friends. I was so excited! Our entire family has learned to play and we all love it - we've even taught Grandma and she's going to teach her friends. It's fun, challenging, takes a short while or longer, and is always different. We're all glad that I found Flinch after all these years!
