Flip Ships Icons
When I first encountered the Flip Ships game, I was struck by the vibrant and captivating icons used throughout. Each icon seemed to tell its own story, drawing me into a world of exciting space battles and strategic maneuvers.
The spaceship icon, for example, immediately caught my eye. Its sleek design and bold colors hinted at a vessel that could soar through the stars with grace and agility. I could almost feel the hum of its engines as it streaked across the game board.
Another icon that stood out to me was the alien creature. With its menacing claws and fierce expression, it was clear that this was no ordinary extraterrestrial being. This creature seemed both intelligent and dangerous, making it a formidable opponent in any intergalactic conflict.
And then there was the power-up icon. Its vibrant glow and shimmering effect hinted at untapped potential and hidden abilities. I could almost feel the surge of power as I activated this icon, giving my spaceship the boost it needed to outmaneuver my adversaries.
I was also captivated by the commander icon. This symbol of leadership and strategy was a constant reminder of the choices I needed to make as I navigated the challenges of the game. It served as a guiding star, urging me to think strategically and plan my moves carefully.
As I played the game, I found myself drawn to these icons and the stories they told. They added an element of excitement and adventure that elevated the experience to a new level. Whether I was battling alien invaders or outsmarting enemy commanders, the icons brought the game to life in a way that words alone could not.
In conclusion, the Flip Ships icons are more than just images on a game board. They are windows into a world of intergalactic battles and strategic decision-making. They inspire me to think creatively, plan tactically, and embrace the thrill of the unknown. So, if you’re looking for a game that combines strategy, excitement, and a touch of sci-fi wonder, then you’ll love Flip Ships and its captivating icons. Give it a try and let your imagination take flight among the stars.
If you see a ship with this icon, it means it’s protecting all the cards next to it. But if there’s another ship with a Shield icon next to it, it can’t protect anything. And no, two shield ships next to each other don’t make each other stronger – they cancel each other out!
Remember: Only one shield per group!
Example: So, check this out: I’m Kallen, and I’m flying my ship toward an enemy. But not just any enemy, this one is hanging out near a shield. I decide to flip my ship and make a daring landing right on top of that enemy card, right in the middle. Talk about making an entrance!
Now, here comes Carter. It’s his turn, and he’s got his eye on that shield-generating enemy. He flips his ship and lands right on top of it. But here’s the cool part: when it’s time for Carter to resolve his attacks at the end of his turn, he discards not only the shield enemy but also the one that I hit earlier. Both of their ships get moved to the docking bay. Double whammy!
But let me tell you what would’ve happened if Carter didn’t destroy that shield-generating enemy. Picture this: at the end of the round, my ship would’ve been hauled off to the docking bay without causing any damage. Bummer, right?

When I see an enemy ship with this icon, I need to hit it two or more times in the same round to destroy it. But if I only manage to hit it once, nothing happens. It’s like a little challenge within the game!
Example: So here’s what happens – I’m in a spaceship, right? And I do this cool move where I flip my ship and land right on top of an enemy that has this special icon. It’s a risky move, but I’m feeling gutsy.
Now, here’s the fun part – my ship stays right there on the enemy card, smack in the center. But here’s the catch: it’s not just my ship that’s there. Carrie, on her turn, flips her ship and – guess what – lands on the very same enemy. Talk about coincidence!
Here’s where things get interesting. When Carrie takes her turn and attacks, she’s gonna trash that enemy card. And you know what that means? Both my ship and Carrie’s ship zoom right into the docking bay. It’s like we’re taking over the enemy territory!
But wait – imagine if Carrie hadn’t landed on that enemy. It would have been a whole different story. At the end of the round, my ship would have moved to the docking bay anyway, but without any special effects or bonus moves. Bummer, right?
Amazing Ship Powers
Okay, so, get this – every game we play, we’re gonna have a bunch of different ship powers at our disposal. It’s like a whole arsenal of cool abilities that we can use to our advantage.
Stage 1:
- If you land on a Moon space, you can pick any enemy in that row and attack.
- If you don’t land on an enemy, you can shoot one short card length at an enemy card. Put one end of the lasers on the targeting computer card against your ship. If the other end of the card reaches an enemy, then it’s a successful attack.
- If you land on an enemy card, you can choose to attack an adjacent enemy instead of the one you landed on. If you choose to attack an adjacent enemy that requires two hits to destroy or a shielded enemy, simply move your ship to that enemy card.
- If you successfully attack the mothership, you can re-flip. Right after hitting the mothership, move the marker down to show the hit, and then immediately re-flip this ship.
Level 2:

- You can flip this ship over one more time. (You can do this in addition to flipping the ship when it lands in the atmosphere) If you choose to flip it over again, you won’t attack any enemies you land on.
- You can destroy enemies that have shields, and you can destroy ships that need two hits with just one hit.
- If you don’t land on any enemies or attack the mothership, place the Launch Pad where the ship lands. From here, you can take one free shot at the mothership. You can’t attack any other enemy ships with this flip.
When you’re playing the game, here’s a helpful tip to remember: if your ship doesn’t land on an enemy, you have the option to shoot one long card length at an enemy card. To do this, simply place one end of the laser against your ship on the targeting computer card. If the other edge of the card reaches an enemy, you’ve successfully attacked them. Take a look at the image below for a visual guide!
Level 3:
- When I’m in battle, I have a cool trick up my sleeve. I can shoot one long card length at two different enemy cards. All I have to do is place one end of the lasers on the targeting computer card up against my ship. If the other edge of the card reaches an enemy, bam! They’re successfully attacked. I can attack up to two ships this way, and any enemy cards I land on count towards this total.
- But here’s the best part. If I successfully attack the mothership, I can remove two damage from my city. It’s like a bonus for taking down the big guy.
- Now, attacking the mothership is a little different. I have a special ability called flipping. I can flip up to 3 times. But here’s the catch—I have to decide before my first flip if I want to activate this ability. When I flip, I don’t count any enemy cards that I land on. The goal is to successfully attack the mothership. And if I do, I don’t get to keep flipping this ship.
- When I land on an enemy, I attack that one and an enemy next to it. The extra enemy can be next to any of the enemies I landed on, up and down or side to side. If the extra enemy needs two hits, I move my ship to that enemy card.
