Flohzirkus (1997)

About this game

The game box itself is used as a 3D board, divided into four areas separated with ricocheting barriers and containing a big hole in the center. The players attempt to flick their fleas (chips) onto the board tiddlywinks-style, with the goal of having the most chips in each area, but without having them fall in the center hole. Players with good dexterity can attempt to use their chips to knock other player's chips out of an area and, preferably, into the hole. There are special chips that freeze out (or neutralize) an area, as well as other special chips that serve to neutralize the neutralizing chips.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
