Flick ’em Up!

Red Rock Tomahawk

Shootout in Wild West! You choose a playing area and a scenario and form two teams. One round equals one hour on the clock on the City Hall, with one turn per player. Scenarios give the detailed conditions and components for use, order of play is always Team 1, Team 2, Team 1, etc. If you are a cowboy, you have two actions from movement, shooting or take/discard/swap. Movement and shooting are done by snipping, following detailed rules for entering and leaving of buildings and shooting with one or two weapons. In buildings, you can acquire items, discard them or swap them. The game ends at midnight or when a winning condition of a scenario is achieved.

The expansion Red Tomahawk introduces a new Clan - Native Americans - and conflicts between Cooper Clan and Native Americans who are armed with bow and arrows and tomahawk, the Cooper Gang, however, has a Gatling Gun! There are new components - forests, Tipi, Totem and Mountain and also box, figures and headdresses for the five Native Americans as well as the new weapons. Besides the five scenarios with varying winning conditions for Cooper Gang and Native Americans there are three practice fields on which you must topple cowboys and cactuses for one or two points, respectively. Bow and Arrow work by placing the “bow” on the figure and snipping the arrow; the tomahawk is set upright on the surface and snipped, and the Gatling Gun is a U-shaped piece in which you line up “bullet” pieces and snip all of them simultaneously.

Pure fun to play, this action tabletop provides super components and marvelous scenarios; special kudos go to the designers for the snipping function of the weapons. You need a steady hand and good visual judgement.
