![]() It consists of bumpers and sets to complete, of course, all tied to the movie. There are no complicated bonuses to figure out outside of timing when to trigger multiball, but that can be said for every table. This is the most basic table and is meant for beginners in the game. While I enjoy Elf, it is both my least favorite of the movies AND the tables. On the next roll, if the roll is higher than the increasing requirement based on the dare selected, you can score bonus points (no, you cannot nudge to improve your roll). Once you complete the set, you pick Single, Double, or Triple Dog Dare. Obviously, these sets cover famous scenes from the movie, like the decoder ring, the leg lamp, and the BB gun (these grant one-time double-score opportunities and are fun to try to time).įinally, the DARE set allows you to gamble points. You can also complete it at end game by having the last roll be less than or equal to the number of targets, but that’s not as cool. If you complete all 8 before the end of the game, you get a 25-point bonus. Each time one is completed, you mark it off. There are 8 different sets that can be completed. I can’t unsee the misalignment (also, my reflection in the pinball). Unfortunately, at least for my copy, the table does not line up perfectly with the backglass, making me want to shoot my eye out….sorry. The backglass is more active as it includes both the Santa Visit bumpers as well as the tracker for your Air Rifle bonus. The best Christmas movie of the bunch however, is only the second-best table. Trying to complete the BOSS set before another pair of doubles show up, potentially resetting the bonus back to 1 point, can be fun/infuriating. I also love the tie-in to Cousin Eddie’s explosion that allows you to take an immediate double-score bonus, up to three times a game, for completing the GAS set.įinally, I really enjoyed the Boss Bonus which, instead of being tied to your choices, increases every time doubles are rolled. Unlike the other two tables, the multiball in Christmas Vacation is triggered by completing the SQUIRREL set, which can be triggered multiple times in a game, instead of via one-time bonuses. ![]() Because you only have one ball, timing when to score your lights (tracked on the backglass and erased once scored) versus building up the bonus is crucial.Īnother way to score points is through the multiball bonus. Just like in the movie, the goal is to put so many lights on your house that you cause a rolling brownout. ![]() The primary way to score big points is by scoring the light bonus. Yes, it only lasts one round, but it has the most going on and some fun tie-ins to the movie. While this is my second favorite of the three movies, it was my favorite table. ![]() My tables, in order from most to least favorite, are Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and Elf.Ĭhristmas Vacation Should I score now or push my luck? Second, Elf and A Christmas Story last only two rounds, while Christmas Vacation lasts only ONE. First, there are only three new tables (Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and A Christmas Story), whereas the previous games all included four. To see how the game plays please read my original review.īefore I get to the gameplay, there are two changes from the previous games. I want to focus my game experience on the three new tables included in Super-Skill Pinball Holiday Special. As always, the player with the highest score is declared the winner! The three new tables, from easiest to hardest Game Experience: The game ends when everyone has lost two or three balls. A player’s game ends after they have lost two or three balls, depending on the table. In other words, players can be on different rounds, depending on their decisions (and luck). If a player loses a ball, they start their next round. If the move scored points, record the points earnedĪll play is simultaneous, and all players use the same dice roll.Choose one of the dice and move your ball based on the die chosen.Games can take between 30 to 75 minutes, with higher player counts taking longer. Super-Skill Pinball Holiday Special, a standalone sequel to the aforementioned Super-Skill Pinball games, is a roll and write pinball game that allows one to four players to compete for the highest score. That is the true story of how I received my copy of the Super-Skill Pinball Holiday Special. Tony: What are your three favorite Christmas movies? Call me when they have a real IP, like Star Wars, Marvel, or 3 random Christmas movies. Tony: There is a new Super-Skill Pinball using the Star Trek IP. Tony: There is a sequel to Super-Skill Pinball. Tony: There is a new roll and write based on pinball called Super-Skill Pinball 4-Cade.
