To challenge THE MACHINE, you must react with lightning-fast fingers. Either to battle alien raiders, to track down a slithering serpent, to blast away at threatening missiles, or to run away from a very hungry monster. It takes skill to score points on THE MACHINE but it takes strategy to win the game. For Arcade Mania challenges you to collect chips during a match... and chips are accumulated either by winning on THE MACHINE yourself or by betting successfully on other players tackling THE MACHINE. You'll discover that WHO to bet on and HOW MUCH to bet takes clever planning and plotting. #boardgames #retrogaming #thrift #genxgrownup ? S H O P (affiliate) http://genxgrownup.com/amazon ?
