Editorial Review
Almost a century old, Flinch is the seemingly simple but surprisingly difficult card game in which players attempt to discard from their stockpiles of 10 cards by playing them in numerical sequence (when possible). Sure, it sounds like a round of this could be over in minutes, but it never turns out that way. The original, handsome design of the cards is still intact, but the makers of the game have come up with some additional contests for modern folk, including Flinch 2000, with wild cards. There's also a solitaire version and one just for kids. --Tom Keogh

 Great Classic Game January 6, 2009
Was taught this classic card game by a 90-year-old friend who's been playing it all her life and taught all her twelve children . . . had a ball playing it with her and bought it for Christmas for several friends who also like playing card games! The bigger the group, the better the game, as things move faster. We even tweaked the rules and let everyone play at once - a whole new game!
 Our Family's Favorite! December 25, 2008
Our family loves this game. We play it at my In-Laws, who have had it for years. We wanted one for our immediate family, but could not find it in stores. I was happy to find it on Amazon, and the children were thrilled to open it on Christmas.
Great combo of strategy and luck December 2, 2008
My family has had a set of Flinch cards as long as I can remember. My mom and I still play every time I visit.
Game play requires a good bit of strategy, but there's also luck in the order one draws cards. The combo makes it a fun game where everyone has a shot at winning.
It is a fun game November 29, 2008

I can't deny that this is a fun game. the thing that irriates me though is that it's the same as skipbo minus the wild cards.
1905??? July 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful old card game! But if every reference I come across states that it was first introduced in 1905, why are there countless references to playing Flinch in my great-great-great-aunt's 1903 diary???
