Would you consider real-time games dexterity games?

[@janisbernans6541]

No

[@BrandonGraham]

Not really. It's a big enough genre to be it's own.

[@olivierjodoin2283]

No

[@Kapkeh]

No I wouldn’t.

[@painandgame6599]

No, it's not..

[@beakerkell]

I had to look into the Icecool thing and holy crap! Never realized you were one of the designers! Straight to #1. ;)

[@SpackJarrow94]

My personal fav dexterity is 'For Science!' from Eric Reuss (Spirit Island guy). It is asynchronous real time dexterity coop game, where you play as scientis trying to prevent deadly disease (pandemic vibes). Each player has hand of cards which can be played to shared 'laboratory' to create design (from symbols on cards), which later must be built by stacking & balancing wooden blocks. Successful builds yield 'hex-like' puzzle pieces, which must be arranged together to 'capture' viruses printed on them. Great blend of planning & execution as you can often rearange cards in lab to create easier design to build, but it all cost you precious time.

[@BanterandBoards]

I love the list! Also love the B-Roll you guys provide! I don’t think people realize how much time it takes to record all of that!

[@BoardGameHangover]

It's really nice to hear you like the b-rolls. :) makes my day. /JT

[@chad0claire]

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for the stare and silence!!!!!!! LOVED IT!!!!

[@jordanlloyd9517]

Catacombs is another great one!

[@adamsansom2605]

Flip Ships seems like it would fit well on this list. I've played many of the games on the list and would put Flip Ships and Menara up at the top of my personal top 10.

[@olivierjodoin2283]

Another Flip Ships fan! My #6 overall best game and my favorite dexterity game by quite a lot. Such a blast every time.

[@painandgame6599]

@@olivierjodoin2283 Yeah FlipShips it's a very good one ^^.

[@boxfarts3847]

Ice cool for sure. There is a lot of skill and fun involved there. Love Flick em up as well

[@bradynooren1529]

Have you tried Crash Octopus, Junk Art, and Kabuto Sumo? Those get my votes.

[@kwirl]

Junk Art and Tokyo Highway are big ones, and once in a while i might even include Gravity Warfare if you want a bit of 'take that' with your dexterity

[@gametable4two]

I love showing Menara to people!

[@JustinNichols66]

As someone else commented - FLIPSHIPS! It's one of my favorite games. Some others that I really want to try: Nekojima, Wonder Bowling, and Beat the 8 Ball. Great video, gonna look more into some of those games.

[@olivierjodoin2283]

Flip ships fans unite!!! Fantastic game!

[@browe]

Crokinole is easily the top of my all-time dexterity game list. In a month or two I should be able to try Carrooka for the first time, which I expect will also be awesome (not unlike Crokinole in some ways.) 😄 Similar to Kluster, I've had Polarity for a long time--entirely about magnets & placement, but the magnetic playing pieces can "lean" against one another in crazy ways. When they eventually tip and/or snap together, it's always startling.

[@jdogbemple1]

IceCool has been in my top 100 for a while. So cool that one of the designers is one of the hosts.

[@johnrogers5264]

Fun List It's Flipships for us.

[@bastianvb5030]

In my opinion Flick of Faith is definitely worth of checking out.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Will do!

[@Dwigii]

Solid list! My only changes would be to drop Jungle Speed and Project Elite to add Men at Work and TEAM3. In regards to Klask I am one of the rare people who actually prefer the 4 player version. FYI while browsing BGG dexterity category I noticed that Cheating Moth is there, which actually makes sense :D

[@iansutton7416]

Jungle speed was a reworking of an earlier game Zuma/Azuma. Jungle speed is bad enough for nails digging into hands, but the predecessor had hard knobbly plastic totems, so the pain came on both sides of the hand. Utterly brutal, but still fun.

[@RafaelZanolla]

Lovely, lovely list. I have to say, though, I'm disappointed in Janis for missing the opportunity to say Kluster is a very... attractive game. Other than that, spot on! 😂😂

[@BoardGameHangover]

Darn, you are right. It is a missed opportunity. I should have pulled that joke together myself. /JG

[@cardiner-lv]

I had no doubt about Crokinole being nr1, but some of them surprised me, definitely worth checking some of them out :)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Where there any that where missing that you'd suggest we try out for the next time? :)

[@cardiner-lv]

Sure I can suggest Kabuto summo, but that's about it, not a big fun of dexterity games, Crokinole is planty for me :)

[@cardiner-lv]

But the magnet game looks very cool :)

[@krisjaniszviedrans9871]

Set, Who did it and Captain Sonar are grate too. Havnt played Junkart but it also looked awesome.

[@keithplunske6155]

Thanks

[@telissa1000]

An idea would be a top 10 list of boardgames for people with a language barrier or multi language households. I would find it very interesting and helpful

[@BoardGameHangover]

Will do it! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@protoman504]

I really enjoy nekojima. Im currently saving up for a nice croconol board. Might be a mid year gift to myself or maybe ill wait till the end of the year 😅. So many companies that make them its hard to choose who to go with. Atm im thinking tracy board.

[@abraxas365]

Just here to tell you guys I like your vibe, love your reviews... and that I dispise dexterity games with every crippled muscle fiber of my being 😆

[@BoardGameHangover]

The dexterity genre is a very specific one. Feels like people either love it or hate it :D

[@bmrigs]

That stare in awkward silence......😅

[@hobbyholic42]

Great choices but I think my 1 of my favorite dexterity game is Chopstick Dexterity MegaChallenge 3000.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Haven't tried it. Will need to fix that

[@neptuune]

A game of Cat and Mouth is very good too !

[@derekott1870]

Nekojima recently came out and is a fun dexterity game. Some might find it too hard though.

[@languagemaus8083]

and it has quality maerials, quite fun and innovative

[@Daley63]

Did you say you're in Latvia? Cool!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Yes, we both live in Riga. The capital of Latvia :)

[@davidhughes595]

Junk Art is a stellar dexterity game published by Pretzel Games (who also publishes Flick Em Up). Played it with several different groups and it had been a hit every time

[@rioterism]

Project Elite is a total banger!!! Pretty easily one of the best cooperative games in my opinion but looking at it as a dexterity game - it should be even higher!

[@painandgame6599]

Hello, are you planning to make an ice cool 3, because 1 and 2 are just for me the best flicking games in the world of all time ^^.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Hello! Icecool Wizards just came out that you can check out. It's quite different than the previous two iterations of the game.

[@christophe08111981]

My #1 is Flick of Faith :)

[@BoardGameHangover]

You're the second person suggesting it! Will have to try it out

[@zapflash270]

No Catacombs?

[@thedeanborecki]

Is Catacombs worth a look?

[@michaldurovic]

Best secret message. 😂

[@BoardGameHangover]

Was super fun filming it :D

[@chrisc1625]

Where is Flipships???? 😀

[@mikeduy]

Im surprised thers no Junk Art in your List, I can't recommend this game enough for my family and friends, its a Blast anytime Junk Art comes to table.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Will have to try it before making the next Dexterity ranking video

[@marekhajducak7428]

What about `Fuse`? cooperative game as well for 10 minuts only.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Haven't tried it just yet, thanks for the suggestion

[@olivierjodoin2283]

Amazing game but it's not really a dexterity game, it's a real time game where sometimes you have to stack dice but you never really make them drop, it's just a minor hindrance to the speed of the game.

[@ionutsandu2830]

How about Pitchcar?

[@bperez1172]

2nd that, yeah where's Pitchcar?

[@wicaksonoadi1035]

@@bperez1172 "Where's Pitchcar" is exactly the question that comes up when you're trying to buy one.

[@mordecai_gaming]

Bingho check it out

[@brandyhandy4157]
