I loved it 10/10 would gift
Pros:
It's fast paced
Catchy name
Fun for the right group
Could be short or long
Simple in a good way
Would make an awesome drinking / drunk game
kids would like this
Cons:
You could hurt yourself or others with the slapping if you're too vigorous.
If you're just bad at fast reaction games, you will never win.
With the wrong people, this game would just be a total bummer
The rule of "no flinching" is stupid and you will probably house rule it out
About my experience:
Okay, so I've only played this once so far, but the results were outstanding. I played with a group of 4 people who just wanted to play games and have fun. It was hilarious, because we were so interested in slapping NOT LAST that we were slamming the table too hard. Some cards require actions before you slap the cards like beating your chest or the table first. We would go too hard at the start until we realized that it's not how hard you slap, it's how fast.
Players who were not as good at card recognition fell behind. Some of the cards are coloured differently to try and throw you off. It's not who slaps first, but who slaps last, so you just have to be faster than one friend. I can see how playing this with boring people who are too serious could really put a cramp on it's style.
