Cover Description

The game target (inside the box) occupies most of the cover, wrapping over the left, top, and bottom aprons, and stopping just right of the right side of the cover, where an orange background is shown from top to bottom. The target is shown at an angle. The target has two concentric black circles; the inner circle is a single target, and there are 6 compartments outside it, in purple, yellow, blue, red, green, and white. Outside the outer circle, the background is green.

The title, "flips" (in orange on an oval with a black background) appears near the lower right of the cover, overlapping a portion of the game target illustration and the orange background to its right. "for 2–6 players" (in black) appears below. At lower right:
