Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House

Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House is a board game that emulates a pinball machine on your table. Dice are flicked down the board attempting to land in multiplier zones, collect clue tokens, and hit monsters.

My Thoughts

• Easy rules can be explained in a minute and jump straight into the game.
• Super fun and enjoyable experience to play whether you are good or bad at flicking dice.

• Game elements feel somewhat reminiscent of pinball, such as multipliers or hitting specific targets. Earning a bonus turn feels similar to unlocking multi-ball. Otherwise, the theme largely comes through in the art.
• Retrieving monsters that fall through the holes in the middle of a round is a bit annoying and disruptive to the quick flow of the game.

• Walls provide opportunity for bank shots that are not possible in similar dice flicking games.
• Pulling off a cool shot to collect multiple clue tokens or knock opponent dice off is exciting.
