Category - Action / Dexterity Board Games
Action/dexterity games require players to utilize their own physical attributes, particularly hand-eye-coordination, to play. Typically players are expected to achieve a precise physical task, often with a time limit. Rules are often light, since the focus is not on strategy but raw ability. Most gamers are familiar with this format because of traditional games such as Tiddlywinks, Crokinole, and Jenga. Modern updates include Pitchcar and Flick ‘Em Up!
