BY STATE OF PLAY GAMES

Pinball is something of a lost art. With the glory days of arcades and The Who’s rock opera *Tommy* (1969) behind us, the Pinball Wizard may appear to have lost his luster. But State of Play’s *INKS* is breathing new life into this arcane mode of play, by making the pinball machine double up as a blank canvas for painters. From the creators of *Lumino City* (2014), the game brings a similarly tactile approach to design. Instead of flashing colors, your ball hits objects only to create bursts of watercolor behind it. The path your ball takes across the board leaves a trail of paint, too, turning play into a form of self-expression. With tables inspired by the styles of Miro, Matisse, Pollock and Riley, *INKS* is for the pinball player who wants something beautiful to look at while they rack up high scores.

**Perfect for:** Pinball wizards, artists, *Lumino City* fans

**Playtime:** short
