Quickie Version:
UTAD except when the center stand-up target has matching red and yellow lights, then shoot it.
Go-to Flipper:
Balanced
Risk Index:
Very High
Full Rules:
Pretty basic. Color-coded top lanes light the corresponding colored bumper underneath when made. The more lit, the better, but you can only get one on the plunge. The primary point-maker here, other than just bumper-love and getting lucky with an up-one-top-lane-down-another bounce off the bumpers, is the center target. The center target is only worth 10 points, except when the red and yellow lights below it are on matching values; it then scores that value, up to 300 points (specials are worthless). Each red or yellow bumper you hit raises the light below the center target for that color one notch; it rolls back down to 50 points after the special. Getting them to match and then hitting the target is the only partially-skill-based play on the game. If you’re looking for a “coin-flip” game against a superior opponent, this is a good one to pick.
