About

In this classic strategy board game, players take it in turns to place counters, to capture their opponent's pieces and convert them to their colour. The player with the most pieces when the board fills up is the winner. The rules are simple, but complex strategies can emerge! In Flippy, you pick your colour and play against a computer opponent. This game is from the book 'Making Games with Python and Pygame'.
