🛠 About the Product / How It’s Played
The goal is simple yet surprisingly addictive: use the larger counter to flip the small “winks” into the target or onto designated scoring zones. Each player picks a colour and receives a set of small counters along with a larger “flipper.”
By pressing the edge of the flipper against the edge of a small wink, you catapult it toward the centre. Points are awarded for winks that land in the middle or on coloured scoring areas.

Players can take turns for steady gameplay, or play simultaneously if you enjoy a bit of chaos and extra laughter.
