## What is iFlickWars?

Originally played in the 70's and 80's this game only required a piece of paper and a pencil (or two).

Each player takes a turn moving a ship or firing by "flicking" a pencil on the paper.  The trace left on the paper is where your ship moves or fires.

Adapted to the iPad, each player "flicks" in the touchpad area to simulate the pencil trace.

It's a fun game for all ages.

Enjoy!

### 5/5 — great game

*2010-04-28*

i was looking for this kinda of game, and found this one. i couldn't move and fire at first, then realize i can't flick from plane itself. 

when i was young, we use to draw walls, missile defense ourself, build a strong base. then one person defense, one person attack with flights(have 2 or 4 missles) . lots of lights. ofcrourse can't send at once.

missles can guide, so we use angle ruler to guide.  something like that. 

we spend few days on one peace of paper to fight.  

umm, maybe in the feature you can add these kinda of things?

anyway, hope you keep on develop this game. best.

### 4/5 — Modern classic!  The paper game on the i device

*2010-04-10*

It is the paper game on the idevice.  The game plays just like I remember it.  Would be nice if you could pick number of ships on each side and/or play against computer, as it is only 2 player although it has been fun playing against myself.

### 5/5 — 2 players

*2010-04-10*

The game is ment for 2 players but I have fun playing it by myself

### 5/5 — Blast from the past

*2010-04-07*

Wow ... I was just teaching my kids this game. They didn't like it too much... Being that you needed a pencil and paper. Downloaded this app and now they love the game, as much as I did 20 years ago.
