What is "bagatelle"?
Bagatelle is a tabletop game that involves rolling balls into pockets or holes on a rectangular board, usually with a series of pins or obstacles in the way. The game is similar to pinball and can be played by one or more players. Players take turns launching balls using a spring-loaded plunger or a pin to control the ball's movement. The goal is to land the balls in high-scoring areas, with different pockets offering different points. Bagatelle has many variations, including those with automatic scoring and more complex designs, and it was an early precursor to modern pinball machines.
