Description
Baffle Card is a bingo-esque game from Gottlieb, made in October of the year before flippers were added to Humpty Dumpty.
You light one of four cards on the backglass, and then attempt to get the largest set of numbers to earn special and extra specials via rollovers.
One intriguing aspect is the concept of 'points' on this game. There are 5 point values, two of which are the same, and I suspect these would pay off. I've seen pics of the game and don't see any payout mechanism, but quite interesting. The head appears to have a knock off button mounted on the side, so it's possible that this would pay out nickels based on the number of points accrued per game.
This is all high speculation, though! If anyone has any idea, please let me know.
