I need to know that what I'm writing makes a difference to people's lives - that you might consider a game based on a review I've written, or that you enjoyed something. In the disc-flicking game Flick 'em Up, you can become an outlaw and rob banks, free prisoners, attack innocent bystanders.or you could become the Sheriff and try to protect the people of your city from these bandits. More expensive than many other games but totally worth every penny. If you're looking for something totally different to your average board or card game, this is it. If you're looking for in-depth strategy you won't find it here. Set up the buildings as you want, create a scenario (or use one from the book) and then go!Īvailability: 5/5 - Available online and in good stockists.įinal Score: 75%. Replayability: 4/5 - The simplicity of the game means that this is a perfect family game to pull out on a rainy afternoon. There's nothing fancy but the combination of wooden figures and cardboard buildings works perfectly.ĭepth: 3/5 - The scenarios improve in depth but at its core this is a dexterity game where you flick tokens, so depth isn't really the aim here. It feels like classic Westerns and puts you right in the action.

House rules are definitely needed throughout but the tone of the game is such that these are always created quickly and easily.ĭesign: 4/5 - This game oozes class. You don't have to be a great military strategist, you just need to be able to flick a token.Īccessibility: 4/5 - The rules are extremely short but not always clear.

But that's what makes this game great, because when you hit it feels GREAT. I've seen reviews of this game that express real frustration because sometimes it gets a little fiddly - a building might get in the way, the angle may be horrible or you may miss every shot in a round. At the same time, though, the core mechanic is extremely simple - flick a bullet at another cowboy to kill him. Each scenario builds up nicely, allowing for a gradual increase in complexity. Where earlier scenarios involve just killing certain people (the first scenario has the victory condition of killing 3 opposing characters while the second has you having to kill one specific lead character), later ones get more complex, involving dynamite, rifles, bags of money and much more. The wood is simple yet effective, weighty yet capable of being flicked over.
