description: "World Series" is a unique bagatelle style game, created using the concept of a baseball inning. The play field has a creative spinning baseball field, along with several pins the ball maneuvers through to get to "home plate." information: This game is played almost as if you are the pitcher and the batter. "Pitching" the ball using the metered shooter, followed by the ball traveling a full circuit around the perimeter of the field, then moving in to score. The player then becomes the batter trying to get a hit, and ultimately runs. There are five target that can be hit: ball, strike, hit and two outs. A hit sends the ball straight to the play field, as well as four balls. An out or three strikes clears the current count. Four hits to score a run (using the spinning playfield). Three outs and the game is over. Runs are tallied at the bottom of the field. Tilting the machine slightly gives an advantage, but don't tip it too much because "score void if tilted." |
