Overview

Loopin’ Louie is a dexterity game where a battery-powered plane spins around the board, threatening to knock tokens out of each player’s barn. Players use flippers to deflect the plane and protect their tokens. The last player with any tokens remaining wins.

Components

• 1 Game base with motorised spinning arm
• 1 Louie airplane figure
• 1 Cone/propeller
• 4 Player flippers (normal and advanced mode)
• 12 Chicken tokens (3 per player)
• Battery compartment (requires 1 AA battery, not included)

Setup

1. Insert battery into the base.
2. Attach the plane and cone to the base; lift the plane to vertical position.
3. Each player selects a colour and attaches the corresponding flipper.
4. Each player places 3 tokens in the slots above their flipper.

Turn Structure

Loopin’ Louie is a real-time game with no discrete turns. When the motor is switched on, Louie’s plane begins spinning continuously around the board.

Gameplay:

• As the plane approaches your tokens, press your flipper to launch the plane upward before it knocks your tokens off.
• Timing and force determine how high and in what direction the plane travels.
• When Louie hits one of your tokens, it rolls down into the slot and falls to a lower section (removed from play).

Actions

• Flip: Press your paddle/flipper to deflect the plane away from your tokens.
• The skill lies in timing your flip to protect your tokens while potentially redirecting the plane toward opponents’ tokens.

Scoring / Victory Conditions

The last player with any tokens remaining wins the game. Players are eliminated when they lose all 3 tokens.

Note: Eliminated players may continue flipping to knock out other players’ tokens (kingmaker element).

Special Rules & Edge Cases

• Advanced Mode: Turn the flipper ends to reduce their width, making it harder to deflect the plane.
• Eliminated players can still participate by flipping, which adds a strategic social element.
• Multiple rounds can be played; track wins across games for a tournament.
