From \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/ice-cool\/\"\u003eIce Cool\u003c\/a\u003e to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/coconuts-duo\/\"\u003eCoconuts\u003c\/a\u003e. Even if a co-op like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/flip-ships\/\"\u003eFlip Ships,\u003c\/a\u003e I depend on the lad to see us through to the win. Doesn't stop my enjoyment mind you, so Flick 'em Up with it's western theme and dexterity goodness is a shoe in for me. Sadly it hasn't improved my winning percentage...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlick 'em Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deluxe wooden edition of Flick 'em Up is a bit of a beast. Contained with in a wooden box with a slidey top its one of those games that can be a little bit of a challenge to get back in that box. You will certainly have to dismantle the cardboard buildings from their stands. Thankfully, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pretzelgames.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePretzel Games\u003c\/a\u003e included some protective stickers, even if they are a little fiddly to apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact let's get this out of the way now, fiddliness is hands down the biggest complaint I can level at Flick 'em Up. Set-up, and play can take longer than you would expect due to all the pieces, and little rules for new elements. The game comes with a scenario book that takes the basic rules and increases the complexity by adding in new concepts, weapons and items. All this is great to muck about with, but you have to get to that stage first. One of the attractions of dexterity games is the low barrier of entry, Flick 'em Up doesn't have this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you have learnt the concepts though, you are good to go. You'll be holding shoot outs, attempting heists and all manner of western theme goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrip 'em Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is tracked by a clever cardboard post box sort of thing. On it are your team of five's lives, weapons and items. Every time you lose a life it is posted through the slot. If a character dies - posted. It's a neat little system and the kind of thing that Flick 'em Up is full of. Each cow-person has a hat which is flipped from red to blue to indicate when they have been activated. If you ever forget which you are, the town clock helpfully reminds you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, activating a character gives you two actions, these can be moving, shooting and picking things up. The way you do these things is by flicking wooden disks of various sizes. There is a larger one for moving, smaller ones for bullets, an odd shaped one for dynamite. If you pick up another pistol you get two shots instead of one, where a rifle gives you a cardboard guide to help with accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is all very well thought out and it all works. However, because of all these elements and the set-up and tear down time, the game does take longer than it should. The game can technically play 10 people but you are much better at between two and four, as turns will come round faster and you will shave some time off that extended length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlick em' Up Some More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are currently two expansions for Flick em' Up, both adding new weapons, scenarios and gameplay. I have only played Stallion Canyon which adds horses and a ramp to shoot bullets high enough to knock people off those horses. Neither expansion is essential, but both seem to add a lot of fun to the playground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActually that's my advice for Flick 'em Up - treat it like a playground. Don't get bogged down in the specific rules, learn the basics and set-up your own game and have fun with the toys you are provided. I actually really like Flick 'em Up and have fun with the scenarios but it's a hard game to get to the table due to the set-up and over wrought rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStick em' Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlick 'em Up is well made and a heck of a lot of fun. The rules may hinder as much as they help, but there is nothing quite like this western themed flicker. Although the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/flick-em-up-deluxe-wooden-box\/\"\u003edeluxe version\u003c\/a\u003e is pricey, there is also a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/flick-em-up-zman-plastic-version\/\"\u003echeaper plastic version\u003c\/a\u003e, although no expansions for this yet. If you like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product-tag\/dexterity\/\"\u003edexterity games\u003c\/a\u003e then this is a great choice, but if you don't there is nothing here to win you over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlick 'em Up provides toys for a fun game, don't feel constrained by the rules but use the clever systems to come up with your own scenarios be they one offs or a campaign. After all spending so much time setting up means you need to get the most out of your play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\tRead More \u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:fl-builder\/layout --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Z Man Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56050160599418,"sku":"ZBG-ZMG30000","price":35.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Flick-em-Up-ZMan-Plastic-Version.jpg?v=1760985064","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-fr\/products\/flick-em-up-zman-plastic-version","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
