Paper football

Paper football (also called FIKI football, finger football, flick football, or tabletop football) refers to a table-top game, loosely based on American football, in which a sheet of paper folded into a small triangle is slid back and forth across a table top by two opponents.[1] This game is widely practiced for entertainment, mostly by students in primary, middle school, and high school age in the United States.[2]

This article is about the tabletop dexterity game. For the pencil-and-paper game, see Paper soccer.
