Pincade 2020

Pincade 2020 is coming to Wellington. This is the 13th annual event, organised by our pinball ambassador: Yee Fong. Pincade starts in Wellington on Thursday 5th March and transitions to Auckland on Friday 6th March to run over the weekend at various locations.

Have a listen to Yee’s interview on Episode 4 of the Pinball Spots Podcast to hear about his motivations for this event.

This year I have something special for you. It occurred to me a while back that a lot of collectors in Wellington own a Fish Tales machine. With the eccentric nature of this very popular game, the up-tempo country and western music, and percussive nature of the flapping fish topper (often disabled in public venues), I thought about the idea of running a Krypton Factor-type event with a lineup of TEN Fish Tales games.  

I’m calling it the “Fish Tales Symphony”. 

But that’s not all … I have an 11th Fish Tales machine which will be sure to impress too! Come and find out why, and join in on the frivolity :-D

EVENT DETAILS

Location: Boneface Brew Bar in the Brewtown craft beer precinct in Upper Hutt.

Wednesday 4th March: public Free Play and practice evening.

1pm Thursday 5th March: Pincade 2020 officially begins with The Fish Tales Symphony starting at 2pm (which will be a fun competition run on all of the games).

At 6pm there will be a 3-Strike IFPA accredited tournament on the other pinballs as well as on as many of the Fish Tales games we need to make up numbers.

If you look at the Pincade thread on Aussie Arcade you will see all the fabulous merchandise available (custom designed each year) the various packages that are available for attending Pincade 2020.  

You can register for Pincade by e-mailing Yee Fong directly.

Please note that numbers are limited on both the Auckland Friday night event and the Sunday event, so register as soon as you can.

I look forward to seeing you there!
