Support for 8 players?

Post by Spinier Virus »

Hi,

I see in the rulebook for FlipToons Season 2 that you can combine the Season 1 and Season 2 decks to support up to 8 players. The BGA implementation allows the decks to be combined, but does not appear to support 8 players.

Is this something that can and will be implemented? I haven't played this way in the physical game yet, but I hope to try it out soon!

Thanks very much!

Agreed. This should absolutely be added if possible.

Not anytime soon. With the automatic flipping, it becomes problamtic with more than 4 players (too much data to calculate in 1 move). We decided the technical challenges would not weigh up to the amount of games that would be played at 4+. For your reference only about 2% of all tables were 4 player matches, it would be even less for 5-8 players.

Most play two players right? This game shines at two players according to me. Haven't played with more thab two but have a feeling it is way to chaotic with more than two, specially the second edition.

That's too bad. I haven't played the physical game beyond four players yet, but I was curious to see how it worked. My personal (twice-weekly) game group is 4-5 players, so when we all show up, unfortunately we have to rule out FlipToons (and lots of other games).

Thank you for your reply! And for your efforts on FlipToons. We do really enjoy it at four players.
