Flick 'em Up!: Blacksmith

Flick 'em Up!: Blacksmith is the bite‑size expansion that arrived in the 2017 Brettspiel Advent Calendar on day 9, adding a blacksmith workshop to any Flick 'em Up! scenario. The main component is a small blacksmith building, plus two feet, three horseshoes and a bilingual rules pamphlet (English & German). When a player activates the blacksmith they receive a free action to flick a horseshoe. If the horseshoe hits a cowboy, the effect carries over: the next time that cowboy is knocked out and gets back on his feet, the player controlling him must close his eyes before each action, turning the next turn into a comedic challenge. The core "pick‑up and deliver" mechanic stays intact, but now includes this new horseshoe‑flick that can shift the game’s tempo. With a very light weight (1/5) and a quick 30‑minute playtime, the expansion adds humor and team‑based strategy, as groups can decide who will trigger the blacksmith to mess with the opponent. Components are simple and match the cartoonish style of Flick 'em Up!. Perfect for 2‑10 players who enjoy a laid‑back, laugh‑filled shoot‑out. If you already love the base game, Blacksmith offers a fun way to spice up the duels without added complexity. For newcomers, the pamphlet explains everything clearly and shows how to slot the blacksmith into any existing map.
