Brio Pinball Game

Fun for adults as well as kids – no batteries required. Just picked up this game a couple of weeks ago, and we keep playing. I do know a bit about pinball as we currently have six full-size tables in our living room. I’m the head pinball mechanic in the house, so you could say I know the games inside and out. This little machine is getting the most play recently. The table layout is similar to many full-sized machines, and includes ramps, and under-playfield tunnels. There are no lights, bells, or bumpers. The flippers are purely mechanical, and work by pressing buttons on the sides of the table. There’s a plunger, just like the real thing. You can learn real skills on this little table, like passing the ball to the opposite flipper to make a specific shot. Hitting the ramps consistently is surprisingly challenging. Unlike a full-sized table, when the ball drains down the middle, it returns to the plunger. This eliminates some of the frustration for the wee players. This game is simply a lot of fun to play. in short, this game has the flow of real pinball, only scaled down for the little ones, but provides fun for adult fans as well!
