A tabletop dexterity game where players flick wooden half-cylinders into each other, scoring points when a flicked piece hits another of the same orientation. The 48 wooden pieces are tossed on the table. Those lying flat side down are called "Republicans", and those lying curved side down are called "Democrats". In addition, four of the wooden pieces are colored blue and deemed "Independents". Players attempt to flick a piece into another of the same affiliation, without hitting any other piece. Special rules detail the proper way of handling Independents and any maverick pieces that happen to land standing on end. An odd marriage of Crokinole and Pass the Pigs.
