   Good game but some things need tweaking. If you flick too hard and land your disk outside the board, you'll surely lose the game hard or be at a huge disadvantage. Has high factor of luck since your disks will most likely be kicked out of the spots where you placed them, especially when they land on the bonus spots, but it's still a fun game. It can get tedious after a few plays with the "luck" factor being put into consideration, but if looked at as a game where you are landing on spots and hoping you don't get kicked out and hopefully get bonuses, then this is just as good as any other roll-and-write game out there.

   Flicking adds a little more control and variability vs. dice/cards, but otherwise this is your basic combo-heavy roll-and-write. I have a feeling that once the gimmick wears off, people will get bored with this quickly and choose a similar RaW with a smaller box size.

   While this is billed as a flick-and-write game, it's really just a roll and write that uses flicking to generate arbitrary values. Player control over the flicking is quite low, due both to the small size of the board and pieces as well as the chaos of having so many players' pieces all jostling around. The re-flick options provided are rarely useful except in cases where you have the final flick of the round, and sometimes not even then. The non-flicking portion of the game is better, but each board section is rather disconnected from each other. The "Clever" dice games do a much better job of integrating different scoring methods into a cohesive whole. As a side note, they also do a better job of providing player control over the "roll/flick" portion of the game. I don't see much reason to play this one over many other roll-and-writes out there.
