Plakks: Basketball

Plakks Basketball is a fast finger-flick dexterity game for 2–4 players. From your side of the court you aim the small ball, flicking it so it bounces off the play surface and arcs into the rival hoop. Each time you score a basket you advance one of your bench players onto the opponent’s half of the court. The first coach to place five players in enemy territory wins, so every shot is a mix of skill and timing: take the safe two-pointer or risk a long bank that could turn the tide? A full match runs 5–15 minutes, perfect for family nights, cafés or quick best-of-three showdowns. All components are made from recycled materials—solid wood pieces, robust cardboard court and FSC-certified packaging—and meet EN 71 and ASTM safety standards. With +6 languages on the pieces, anyone aged 6 + can jump straight in and start hearing the tabletop crowd roar. —description from the designer
