Captain Flam is a game of skill. The game board is inside the box. It consists of a starting area, 3 cavities and many holes. On his turn, the player must throw a spinning top from the starting area and take the box in his both hands. By handling it, he orients the spinning top towards the holes. Some will allow him to beat monsters that make him earn 1 to 5 points, to replay or lose his turn. If the top falls into a black hole, the player loses an already won monster. When all 9 monsters have been defeated, the player with the most points wins.
