Personal Thoughts on FlickFleet

FlickFleet is a unique and engaging dexterity game that offers a fun and challenging experience for two players. The build quality of the components is excellent, and the artwork by Eurydice Games adds to the immersive sci-fi theme. While the game may not appeal to everyone due to its dexterity-focused mechanics, it is definitely worth checking out for fans of action-packed board games.

In terms of pricing and availability, FlickFleet can be found both new and used online. It falls within a mid-range price point compared to other board games on the market. Alternatives to FlickFleet include other dexterity games like PitchCar and Catacombs.

Overall, I would recommend FlickFleet to players who enjoy fast-paced, strategic gameplay and are looking for a unique board game experience. It may not be suitable for those who prefer games with a larger player count or less emphasis on dexterity skills.
