Captain Flip: Dolphin

About this expansion

Captain Flip: Dolphin is a board game for 2–5 players, released in 2025. Its defining sequence begins whenever a player draws the Dolphin tile.

When the Dolphin appears, the effect starts with the player who drew it. Then, each player flips a tile of their choice from their own board and applies the effects of the character revealed by that tile.

This creates a clear, shared sequence in which every player takes part. The choice of which tile to flip belongs to each player, while the result depends on the character revealed and the effects associated with that character.

• Draw the Dolphin tile.
• Starting with the player who drew it, each player flips a chosen tile from their board.
• Apply the effects of the character revealed by each flipped tile.
• Return the Dolphin tile to the box.
• Draw and play a new tile.

The Dolphin tile therefore functions as a distinct interruption to the regular draw-and-play flow, involving all players before the tile leaves the game. Once the sequence is complete, play continues with a new tile being drawn and played.

For anyone looking for a concise tile-based board game experience with character reveals and a clearly ordered group effect, Captain Flip: Dolphin provides a focused central mechanic. With support for 2–5 players, its Dolphin sequence is easy to follow while giving every player a tile choice on their own board.
