![]() If it stops successfully without bumping any of the other players, the buildings or other terrain elements, place your cowboy on the spot where the disc stopped. ![]() If it hits ANYTHING, the move is invalid and you must move on to your second action. To move, replace the active cowboy with the included white disc and “flick” it with your finger. It’s actually rather simple to learn – you have to take two actions per round for every cowboy on your team (Flick ’em Up! can be played by up to 10 people in teams, each taking control of one pawn.) You have three options to choose from – move, shoot or take/leave/exchange – and may perform them in any order or multiple times. This story-telling aspect can be expanded by the players as they create their own custom scenarios or you might simply follow the order of campaigns included to challenge yourself with harder and harder tasks.

Previously the table was just a place to lay our cards – until now. We’ve probably assembled dozens of large puzzles and played 100’s of games on this table over the years. ![]() Connected together with some plumbing pipe and adorned with a custom-ordered 1/2″ thick piece of round glass, it served them well for many years before being handed down to our family when we purchased our first home in 1997. Almost 40 years ago while living in West Germany, my parents cobbled this table together using four small wheels from a wooden wagon and a very large wagon wheel that had previously seen service as a chandelier at a local restaurant. If you’re a regular reader, you’ve no doubt seen photos of our living room table which regularly doubles as a game (and puzzle) surface. That’s exactly what happened to us recently when we discovered the award-winning game Flick ’em Up! by Z-Man Games.
