About the game
Flick Wars is a strategy and tactics dexterity game with six factions that range from humans to mechs to alien races. Each faction has a unique set of units. The goal of the game is to eliminate all of the enemy units. The advanced game has specific scenarios and a new game play option which focuses on objective control. Units are discs with a picture representing the type of unit on it. Moving and attacking are both flicks. To move, you just flick your disc; to attack, you need to be in range. When you make a successful attack flick, the target unit flips over and is another obstacle.

Flick Wars supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Flick Wars is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Flick Wars for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Flick Wars has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
