Flick Wars is a wargame where players pick a faction to play, build an army, set up a map and battle it out. The difference here versus most tabletop wargames is that the main mechanic in Flick Wars is flicking wooden discs. 

The retail version of Flick Wars was designed by Shaun Austin and Andrew Tullsen and features art from Shaun Austin and Peter Wocken. It was successfully Kickstarted by Breaking Games in 2017 but due to production delays was not officially published until 2019. Flick Wars plays one to six players with most games wrapping up in under an hour.

********************

From the publisher:

Flick Wars is a strategy and tactics dexterity game with six factions that range from humans to mechs to alien races. Each faction has a unique set of units.

The goal of the game is to eliminate all of the enemy units. The advanced game has specific scenarios and a new game play option which focuses on objective control. Units are discs with a picture representing the type of unit on it. Moving and attacking are both flicks. To move, you just flick your disc; to attack, you need to be in range. When you make a successful attack flick, the target unit flips over and is another obstacle.
