1. Flick ’em Up
Theme: Wild West Shootouts
The Wild West was never meant for sitting still, and Flick ’em Up makes sure of that! In this high-energy disc-flicking game, you’ll step into the boots of a fearless outlaw or a noble sheriff. Bandits can rob banks, free prisoners, and wreak havoc, while sheriffs do their best to restore order to the town.
Shootouts happen in real-time as you flick discs to take out opponents or complete objectives. Whether you follow the game’s preset scenarios or create your own adventures, one thing’s certain: this game will have you flicking discs across the table like a pro gunslinger in no time. Yeehaw!
2. Rampage (a.k.a. Terror in Meeple City)
Theme: Monster Destruction
Ever dream of being a giant, rampaging monster? Terror in Meeple City lets you live out your kaiju fantasies in glorious tabletop form. Destroy buildings, devour helpless meeples, and leave a trail of destruction in your wake as you battle other monsters for ultimate dominance.
But this isn’t just a game of smashing—it’s a game of creative smashing. Flick, drop, and blow (yes, blow!) your way to victory as you collapse towers and send meeples flying. The monster with the most damage at the end of the game earns the title of King (or Queen) of Carnage.
3. KLASK
Theme: Magnetic Mayhem
Think air hockey meets foosball, but with magnets—and chaos. KLASK is a fast-paced, two-player game that takes the concept of tabletop sports to a whole new level.
You control your magnetized game piece from underneath the board, guiding it to shoot a tiny red ball into your opponent’s goal. But here’s the catch: the board is littered with magnetic obstacles that can attach to your piece, and if you’re not careful, you might even lose control and fall into your own goal! The game is frantic, hilarious, and endlessly replayable, making it perfect for players who like to stay on the move.
4. ICECOOL
Theme: Penguin Shenanigans
What happens when penguins run amok in school? ICECOOL happens. In this dexterity game, players flick adorable penguin figures through icy hallways in a bid to grab fish tokens. One player acts as the Hall Monitor, chasing the rascally penguins and trying to catch them before they score.
The magic of ICECOOL lies in its creative flicking mechanics—skilled players can make penguins curve around corners, bounce off walls, or even leap over obstacles. It’s a game of skill, strategy, and plenty of laughter as players scramble to outmaneuver each other in the quest for fishy glory.
5. Coconuts
Theme: Monkey Madness
Sometimes, you just want to fling things across the table. Enter Coconuts, a game where you launch tiny rubber coconuts into cups using spring-loaded monkey catapults.
The goal is simple: land coconuts in cups to build a pyramid on your board. But it’s not just about hitting your target—if you sink a coconut into someone else’s cup, you get to steal it! Add in the game’s mischievous “Monkey King Magic” cards (which force opponents to shoot blindfolded or take impossible long shots), and you’ve got a recipe for absolute hilarity. First to complete their pyramid wins, but the journey is what makes this game unforgettable.
