Pick ‘n Packers

About this board game

Pick ’n Packers is a balance game for 3–6 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. Two players work together to carry a wooden drone stacked with presents, using only one finger each to pinch and lift it.

The challenge is simple to understand but difficult to control. Even the slightest difference in finger pressure can make the drone—and the presents on top—shake. Staying calm and moving in sync is essential, yet the drone never behaves quite as expected.

While two players take on the delicate lift, everyone else remains involved. The other players can guess how far the drone will make it, cheer on the carriers, or playfully try to make them laugh and disrupt their balance.

• Cooperative balance: Two players must coordinate their movements and pressure.
• Physical challenge: A wooden drone and its presents create a visibly unstable lift.
• Table-wide interaction: Watching players can predict, encourage, or heckle the carriers.
• Unexpected moments: Shaking presents and toppled loads can quickly turn concentration into laughter.

Pick ’n Packers brings together teamwork, focus, nerves, and playful interference in one compact experience. Whether you are refining your coordination, trying to stay steady under pressure, or enjoying the spectacle as presents tumble off, every lift can create a memorable moment around the table.
