Are You On The Ball?

Are You On The Ball? is a vintage handheld skill game from MB Games' Funfair Games line, made in Great Britain by Rovex Industries under licence from Milton Bradley. Tilt it carefully to roll the balls towards the holes, and remember that only the centre hole counts. It's a one-player dexterity puzzle from the 1960s or 70s, so please treat it kindly.

About the game

Only the centre hole counts. No pressure.

Gobgob's favourite bit: Nudging the very last ball towards the centre hole while holding your breath. Then, finally, breathing out.
