Quoted from ZMeny:For a first pin and for the family, I think a great choice would be Monster Bash Remake Classic (6k) or if you can stretch the budget to a Spwcial Edition (7200).
This is spot on. Don't get Houdini for 6k when you can get a new Monster Bash remake for 6k. That game is really fun to play and easy to enjoy. Great shots and theme.
I own a GOTG pro and I love it with the new code. Very fun and challenging, and you can find those around from mid-5s new, or high-4s used.
And I like Houdini. It's fun, and if the family likes the theme, great. But it can be a challenging game.
