FLIP OVER (Furippu O-ba-) is a Japanese game. In FLIP OVER, players play a must-follow trick-taking game.

Before the game begins, determine whether each trick will earn you positive or negative points. Place trick indicator chips with blue number face-up if this trick counts positive, or red-number face-up if negative. The winner of the first trick scores one point or loses one point, two points if second trick, and so on.

Trump cards are determined by rank; if a card's rank is equal to the trick number, it is a trump this trick.

When players play all through the trick numbers, flip over all trick indicator chips. Players retrieve all cards they have played, and play again with the same hands, with reversed positive / negative condition.

At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins the game.
