Captain Flip

Yes — you may choose to flip the tile, but if you flip it you must keep the new (flipped) Character (p. 2).

Place the tile on the lowest empty space of any column on your board (p. 2).

Apply the Character’s immediate effect right after placing the tile; then, if that Character is on the highest space of a column, apply their highest-space immediate bonus (p. 2).

No — if you don’t place the Monkey adjacent to another tile, you simply do not apply its Flip effect (p. 4).

When a player completes four columns, finish the round (or end immediately if the last player completed their fourth column); then apply endgame effects and score columns left-to-right. In a tie the player holding the Treasure Map wins, otherwise tied players share the victory (p. 3).
