    ipdb.notes
    This fully functional whitewood game was one of many prototypes designed and built by John Trudeau that, for one reason or another, did not get placed into production. This playfield ultimately got stripped and no longer exists. John shares some comments with us about this game:I guess I didn�t have enough of a beating with semi-obscure games, so I decide to bring a little different approach to the game. I think I was going in the right direction with the layout, but the rules were again not very familiar to most players. The playfield above the pop bumpers was a set (2 pieces) of clear flat plastic ball guides supported by split posts. The ball traveled from the ramp tube exit, around the top right-hand pop, through the center of the bumper nesting and finally around the bottom left-hand pop and back down on to the main playfield. You can see it best (?) at the exit from the upper level just before the rollunder switch. The pinball is actually on this upper level for the photo.
