🎯 A Classic Game of Strategy Returns: Now on Kickstarter - Be a Founding Supporter.
What is Tac-Tickle?
Tac-Tickle is a fast, thoughtful, two-player strategy game with no luck and no randomness - just smart, simple moves. Created in 1965 by Professor Harry D. Ruderman, it was used in classrooms and learning centers for decades and is even recognized in the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
In 2024, it was taught to my daughter by one of her wonderful teachers. She came home, taught it to me, and we were hooked. That’s when our family decided to bring it back — now, through Crafted Family Games, we’re relaunching Tac-Tickle with modern design, original mechanics, and a mission to donate games to schools.
