About

Smack the Table

Read full description

WHAT IS 'SMACK THE TABLE'? 'Smack the Table' is a dexterity party game inspired by an old German game where you would hit nails into a tree stump or a wooden plank with a hammer. In 'Smack the Table', however, we don’t use hammers or nails – we smack the table physically with our hands. Perfect to play with kids, friends and family as you can be between 1 and 5 players duelling and ganging up on each other – all on the same device. 1 player-games are free. Unlock multiplayer as an in-app purchase. HOW DOES IT WORK? Place a smartphone or tablet on a table or a flat surface in between you. 'Smack the Table' works by detecting jolts/vibrations in the surface, so that every time you hit this surface, it is detected as a hit in the game. A moving shadow in the bottom of the screen indicates your aim, and the game values precision higher than power when you hit the nails. GAME RULES - The first nail completely smashed into the plank has LOST the game! - The second nail hit into the plank is the winner - You are allowed to hit all nails on the screen – including your own - You are only to smack the table when it is your turn! WARNING! Be careful while playing, and be mindful of your device, the furniture and your hands. The developers of this app will not accept any responsibility and will not be liable for any damages or injuries occurring in connection with using and playing 'Smack the Table'. The players using the app are the only ones to be held accountable for accidents that may occur. - Local multiplayer - 1-5 players on the same device - Party approved - Family approved - Playable while offline
