If you’ve been wandering the aisles of Target, the odds are pretty good that you’ve seen one of these Funkoverse Games on the shelves. 

With the big head, cutsie FunkoPOP toy factor front and center on the cover, it’s hard to miss them, and they’re definitely adorable enough to make just about anyone stop and pick it up.

However until recently, I have dismissed it all together, concerned that it was more toy than game, and left it on the shelf. But thanks to a great sale and the strong allure of my favorite pop culture paleontologist Ellie Sattler, I finally gave in.

Crokinole is a game that can be traced as far back as 1876 when rockstar dad Eckhardt Wettlaufer from Perth County, Ontario, Canada crafted the earliest known Crokinole board for his son, Adam’s fifth birthday. Not only did Adam receive the sweetest birthday gift from his dad-of-the-year, but the rest of the world won as well, because here we are, over 140 years later and we’re still enjoying this Canadian classic the world over!

But here in the states, the love of Crokinole is only just starting to get attention, and we want to help spread the news about this truly fantastic game.

There’s nothing quite like a good old fashioned speed game. I grew up playing Speed, wildly diving for spoons in the middle of the table, and frantically rushing through my solitaire deck to shout “Peanuts!” All for the glory of the win! 

Flash 8 takes all the fun and adrenaline rush from those games and pairs it with a slide puzzle and let me tell you: it works!
