Put your reflexes to the test in this full-tilt action card game! Follow the pinball as it zooms and zips from bumper to bumper. Use number and color cues to figure out which card it will bounce to next. Spot the last place the ball will go, and you win the card. The player with the most cards is the pinball wizard! There are 4 numbers on the card and players search for the fifth number of that sequence. The card are drawn and players start to search the number at the same time. The first to find the solution tells it and gets the card if it was correct. At the end of the game the player with the most cards wins.
