About the game
Flick 'em Up!: Red Rock Tomahawk arrives as the first expansion to the beloved flick‑shooting classic, adding five fresh scenarios that pit the infamous Cooper clan against Native American tribes in the rugged American West. Each scenario features a unique map, new obstacles, and the dreaded Gatling Gun – a rapid‑fire weapon that can swing the game in a single blast. The goal stays straightforward: move your pieces – archers, tomahawk‑wielding natives or armed cowboys – to strategic spots and eliminate opponents using the signature finger flick.

The flick mechanic remains the core of the experience: you position a piece, aim, and give it a quick snap of the finger, trying to hit the target or shove an opponent out of a safe zone. The expansion introduces new token types, such as wooden shields and barricades, usable for both defense and creating tactical pathways. Rules stay light, preserving the BGG weight of 1/5, which keeps games around 45 minutes even with up to ten players.

Beyond the Gatling Gun, which acts as a limited‑use "wild card" action, the scenarios include secondary objectives – like protecting villages or capturing flags – that award extra points and encourage team play. Components are top‑notch: fold‑out boards, sturdy cardboard tokens, and hand‑painted wooden miniatures. All of this makes Red Rock Tomahawk a vibrant addition for fans of the base game and for groups looking for a fast, noisy, and laugh‑filled tabletop showdown. Ready your finger, line up the shot, and let the showdown begin!
