"Flip Out" (Gamewright, $19.99; 2-5 players; age 8+; 15 min.) The simplicity and purity of this colorful card game make it a perfect entertainment for young and old alike. The equipment consists of cards, brightly colored on both sides, that sit before each player on a rack; you can see one side of your cards and everyone else can see the other.
