Played twice, but the first time got the rules quite wrong so didn't count it.

I score 9700. This was mostly from 8000 worth from having bumpers stacked up on a X2 and then getting another lock.

It's tempting to say there's too much luck and not enough skill, but then that's what some people think about pinball.

Def need more plays. It's a fairly quick one and doesn't take much setup.

@urbaer Seen an actual pinball pro, which happens to be my supervisor at work, on a table. He easily triples the local high score. Really, there is less luck involved than expected or in some board games. 😅 Wish him luck at the German championship, which should taking place as we speak.

@jerk oh 100%

There was that case in NY where the brought in pinball player Roger Sharpe to explain/prove how skill is required to earn high scores because NY considered it a game of chance.

@urbaer I was honestly very surprised, that in (somewhat) modern pinball tables they habe challenges, you have to follow to earn the most points. I'm happy to get the balls rolling.😅
He told me, that there is an advanced table of that type (an AC/DC-themed table, where you can choose the title played during your round) with an additional layer, which he has at home. One of too many tables. Okay, I own more board games, than he got tables, but thinking about price and "tablespace" - wow.
