Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House (2024)

About this game

Get ready to flick your dice, and roll to victory in this spooky game of haunted house pinball! Take down monsters, uncover hidden clues, and dodge trap doors as you try to rack up as many points as you can. Each turn in Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House, you flick one of your dice from the launch pad into the cardboard pinball machine to earn points. For each die that remains on the machine at the end of the round, you score the number of points indicated on that die, plus additional points for various bonuses. Earn points by hitting monsters, gathering clue tokens, and staying in haunted realms. Landing in the summoning circle gains you an additional die! Whoever scores the most points after three rounds wins. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
