Game six. The line is the game now.

We are aware this is getting out of hand. Six games now live in a building that sells coffee. The building has stopped apologizing, and so have we.

The new one is the oldest idea in the cabinet: a line that grows. You are the barista with the tray. Every coffee you pour adds a regular to the line behind you, and the line follows exactly where you walked, which is charming right up until you meet yourself coming back the other way. The walls of an 1855 bank do not move. Antique weekend keeps leaving tables. Decaf, for once in its life, is useful.

One more thing, for those who remember when screens only had the one color. The back office computer still runs, it has been waiting since 1997, and it knows this game by heart. Find the new one in the arcade and ask nicely, with the letter B.

High scores may be disputed at the counter. Single file, please.
