About the game
Flick of Faith is a flicking area-control game where bored, powerful gods send prophets across the Archipelago of the Navel of the World to gather believers. Each of four rounds unfolds through a Council phase, where players vote on new rule-modifying cards, a Mission phase of flicking prophet discs to claim islands, and a Conversion phase where points are scored for island presence and domination. Each god wields a unique special power, from summoning giant monsters to other tricks, adding asymmetric strategy to the physical dexterity challenge. The central Navel of the World island offers big bonus points but is notoriously hard to reach.
Hobbli's Notes
Flick of Faith mixes dexterity flicking with genuine area-control strategy in a way that keeps both casual and competitive players engaged. The voted-in rule modifications each round keep the game unpredictable and full of table talk. It's a great choice for groups who enjoy dexterity games but want more strategic meat than a typical flicking game offers.
