What to Expect
Players take turns building a wobbly tower of platforms, placing cats, and flicking toys off the edge to score based on how far they fall. If the tower tumbles, that round scores zero. Special platforms award extra points and create a race to reach the highest total.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for players who enjoy short, physical games and party fillers; with a 15-minute playtime it fits between longer titles. The 10+ age suggests family accessibility, but fine motor skills matter. Rules are straightforward; prior dexterity-game experience helps but isn't required.
How It Works
Core mechanics are Flicking and Stacking and Balancing: players assemble a tower of platforms, place cats, then flick toys to knock them off ledges. Scoring depends on fall distance and landing on specific platforms. A tower collapse results in no points for that round. Rounds repeat until someone reaches the winning score.
What Makes It Special
Designed by David Killing and Sen-Foong Lim, the game pairs Flicking with platform-building in the Animals: Cats family. Its short 15-minute length and simple physical interaction set it apart as a quick party dexterity game.
Pro
- Short playtime (~15 minutes) — good as a party filler
- Clear dexterity focus: Flicking and Stacking and Balancing
- Family-friendly cat theme and easy setup
- Scales for 2–4 players
Contra
- Emphasizes physical skill over strategic depth
- May frustrate younger players lacking fine motor control
Setting & atmosphere
The theme centers on cats balancing on platforms and knocking toys off ledges, consistent with its Animals/Cats categorisation.
Tips for beginners
Practice stable stacking first and use a test flick to find a comfortable technique; avoid overly risky shots when close to winning.
