Poke-tapa is a series of board games produced by Estrela and sold in Brazil. Two versions have been released, each with 50 Pokémon, the first featuring Generation I Pokémon and a second featuring mostly Pokémon from Generation II. It combined pattern recognition, manual dexterity and speed, as players had to locate and slap the correct Pokémon card to capture it.

Playing the game
Each player receives one of four plastic hands with a suction cup at their end. The round Pokémon cards are distributed on a large surface, facing up. The square Pokémon cards are stacked facing down.
Each turn, one player turns the top square card, revealing it for everyone. Players must then look for the corresponding round card and try to slap it with the suction cup. The first player to slap the correct card "captures" it, getting it for their own pile. If a player slaps a wrong card, it is returned to its place. After the card has been captured by the player, the next round begins, with another square card being revealed. The game ends when the last round card is captured. The winner is the player with the most round cards captured.
