    EM’s, especially multiplayers, offer the most socially dynamic pinball experience, period. They belong together... but not in a way resembling isolation on a desert island.

    Think of multiplayer EM’s like other short-turn multiplayer games: Billiards, darts, cornhole, bowling, etc. One shot, one player. Next shot, next player.

    Ever notice how these games are always clustered together but still remain within the field of view of the other games? So it is with EM’s. Keep them together but still within eyesight of the others as if to say, “Hey... we’re different... but come over and give us a try!”

    That’s only the first part. Other enhancements can be made to the EM experience. I’ll be rolling out some of these design philosophies at RPM soon after I get there.
