Read full description

Flip tiles. Seize territory. Dominate the board. Flip Frontier is a fast, addictive turn-based strategy board game where every move matters. Expand your territory, flip your opponent's pieces, and control the 6×6 grid before they do. Simple to learn. Surprisingly deep. — HOW TO PLAY — Place your piece next to an enemy and watch them flip to your color. Choose to Clone (place a new piece in an adjacent cell) to grow fast, or Jump (move up to 2 cells away) to invade open space and outmaneuver your rival. Every landing can trigger a chain of flips — one smart move can swing the entire board. — GAME MODES — ▸ 1 VS 1 Local — Pass and play with a friend on the same device ▸ VS Computer — Challenge the AI on Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty — FEATURES — ▸ Clean 6×6 strategy board — every cell counts ▸ Two distinct move types: Clone and Jump ▸ Flip mechanic — convert enemy pieces with every landing ▸ Early-game rule — adjacent-only moves for the first 3 turns per side, creating a fair, tactical opening ▸ Three bot difficulty levels — from beginner-friendly to ruthlessly competitive ▸ Live score tracker — always know who's winning ▸ Sound effects with a one-tap toggle ▸ In-game How to Play guide ▸ No internet required — play offline anywhere — STRATEGY TIPS — Think before you land. Dropping next to a cluster of enemy tiles can flip several at once — but leave yourself exposed and they'll flip right back. Limit your opponent's legal moves and you can end the game before the board even fills up. — WHO'S IT FOR? — Perfect for fans of Othello, Reversi, tile strategy games, and anyone who loves a sharp two-player board game on mobile. Great for quick sessions or competitive rematches. Flip Frontier is completely free to play. No ads mid-game. No paywalls. Just pure strategy. Can you flip your way to victory?
