About the game
Naftalink casts you as a clumsy intern who accidentally releases mutant cockroaches from a secret lab. The goal? Capture them before the boss returns, using only a jar of mothballs you’ll flick with precise finger flicks. The game is cooperative, so each player controls a finger that throws white mothball tokens to knock cockroach meeples back into the box. Once all the roaches are inside, the final mission is to knock down the forks and trap the radioactive super‑cockroach before it explodes and blows everything up. The challenge is amplified by a tight time limit and multiple defeat conditions: don’t let roaches fall off the table, don’t isolate the mothballs, don’t close the boxes too early, and of course avoid toppling the super‑cockroach that could explode. With 1 to 12 players and a playtime of 15‑30 minutes, it’s ideal for fans of quick mechanics and sharp humor. The blend of flicking, teamwork, and a sci‑fi setting makes Naftalink a fun and chaotic experience that tests your dexterity and group coordination. If you enjoy time‑pressure challenges and want something both funny and demanding, this title is for you.
