Running Time: 2 hr. |
Welcome to the cardboard arcade! Four colorful pinball machines are nestled into a single box - each one a unique world, ready test of your skills.. and luck - challenging you to rack up the high score.
Go to the carnival. Hack a MegaCorporation. Slay a Dragon. Be a Dancing Queen.
No quarters or tokens needed in Super Skill Pinball. Just dice and a dry erase pen. Your decisions guide the ball around each machine, striking targets, bouncing off bumpers, flipping through spinners to trigger big bonuses, mini games and even multi-ball! The longer you can keep your ball going, the higher your score will climb. Collect enough points and you will walk away a true Pinball Wizard!
Tune in to explore the game and discover how it earns our Spiel of Approval.
