Did you play "flicks" with football cards at school?

I was that poor it was a lucky day if I got the gum used.

I was so poor I used to follow @Winston Churchill around waiting for him to spit out his used gum.

Hell yeah we played flicks, and knock downs, and turn overs.

We played flicks for distance and closest to the wall. Winner won the loser's card. One year I collected the entire set from a single packet of footy cards bought

Yeah so much so that our school had to ban them. We then started playing it with coins which was a little problematic for the teachers so they allowed us to bring the footy cards back!

We called "turn-overs" "blows". Everyone stopped playing flicks because it would damage the cards.

When I was at TAFE I invented a game where we would push a table against the wall, draw a circle about 50mm round in the middle of the table and flick coins across the table hit the wall and bounce back into the circle. First one to get his whole coin inside the circle takes all the coins on the table. Obviously I did not invent a game I was shit at.
