* - Not actually manufactured nor sponsored by Stern...just built using a Stern pinball box.
My 8-year-old daughter has a "Cardboard Challenge" voluntary project due at school, to build something out of cardboard. Naturally, she loves pinball, and we had a giant Stern pinball box from our recent GOT acquisition... and so we present Dragons Revenge!
We used actual pinball leg bolts (hope I get those back), and designed a linkage where you push tubes in & out (in lieu of buttons) to actuate the flippers. A ping pong ball substitutes for the pinball (think I'll paint it silver before we turn it in). Object of the game is to hit the dragons raiding the village! We'd originally intended to top-weight them so they'd fall back when hit, but the ball doesn't have enough mass to make that work. No worries, it's certainly good enough! We had a blast figuring out how to build this and putting it together, thought we'd share it with you!
