    This coin-operated pin table has a rectangular cabinet. The playfield scoring area for the balls that are shot into play is a five-sided area restricted to what would be the upper half of a conventional rectangular playfield. This area is covered in felt, with nothing on it for the ball to score except nine gobble holes, a horizontal row of five holes above a horizontal row of four. The ball shooter pivots to allow the player to rebound a shot ball off of different points at the top of this irregularly-shaped playfield in hopes to direct the ball towards these holes. Any ball that misses the holes are returned to the shooter lane for replay. Once a ball falls in any of these nine holes, it reappears in one of nine corresponding scoring lanes that comprise the lower half of the playfield and it remains there until the end of the game. When all balls have fallen through the holes to the scoring lanes, the player adds up the point values assigned to each lane where balls have landed, for a total score.

    This game was for sale on a French website. The name of this game is prominently displayed on a large triangular plaque located on the upper left corner of the playfield. Our translation of the seller's French indicated 'Brand UNIC'. The accompanying pictures were not clear enough to confirm a brand name and the seller did not respond to our request for contact.
