- 10 balls for 5 cents. Diverter magnets (4).
A nickel starts a 2-player game using ten steel balls. An advertisement states one player can play alone for practice.
There are four electromagnets under the playfield. Each player has a button to activate the electromagnets during play. Players do not alternate but instead play simultaneously, each trying to use the magnets to maneuver balls to land in any of five scoring pockets on the opponent's side of the playfield. Each player has a sliding guard to control by hand, used to protect the player's own pockets from receiving a ball.
