Pencil flick

Pencil flick is a move used in some games that involves pressing a pencil or pen onto a sheet of papyrus or paper until it gives way and 'flicks' across the surface. The resulting line then affects the gameplay in some way. Race Game is an example of a game using the pencil flick. It is also used in military-based games whereby the pencil flick represents gunfire/movement. The 'flick' action can be incorporated into many types of game.

The pencil can be pressed with either the palm or fingertip. Skilled players can control the pencils movement for a short time before it 'flicks' away.
