In the classic battle between reckless pilots and farmer who randomly have tech to create giant flippers, who will come out the victor? We generally took pretty good care of our games when we were kids and yet our original copy is still missing a lot of the tokens.

In Loopin' Louie, a battery-powered motor placed in the center of the table rotates a boom with a little plastic plane. All you do in the game is use your flipper to hit Louie into the air so he doesn’t hit one of your chickens removing it from the game. I will also admit that nostalgia is slightly affecting my judgement because Loopin’ Louie was arguably my favorite board game when I was a kid. It looks like all you have to do is repeatedly tap a lever to keep Louie in the air, but there is actually quite a bit of skill involved.

In Loopin’ Louie, a battery-powered motor placed in the center of the table rotates a boom with a little plastic plane. Loopin’ Louie is far from a strategic game but there is some skill to the game where it isn’t just an exercise in luck. The only defense the farmers can come up with are gigantic flippers that knock Louie back into the air.

Players choose whether they want to place the flipper in the normal (wider side of flipper out) or the advanced position (narrower side of flipper out). The problem is that my experience with some of the newer versions is that none of them compare in quality to the original game.Loopin’ Louie revolves around a reckless pilot flying around in a circle past the same farms over and over. The basic concept of Loopin’ Louie seems like it would have very little skill involved but I think there is more to the game than some people give it credit for. The object of the game is for players to press their respective levers to keep Louie in the air to stop him from knocking the chicken tokens into the canals. As he is a careless pilot, he obviously flies too close to the ground and puts all of the farms’ chickens in danger. People have enjoyed playing the game so much that they have figured out ways of making the game more difficult.

Now a lot of adults who have never played the original game will probably think that Loopin’ Louie is a silly children’s game with no skill or strategy. While Loopin’ Louie is probably going to be better in family settings, I think Loopin’ Louie can be enjoyed by adults that don’t occasionally mind playing silly games. A good children’s game is a game that the whole family can enjoy and even adults can enjoy without children present.This might sound silly but I was actually kind of surprised by how much of a cult following Loopin’ Louie has developed among adults.
