    WOZ or SW. both are brutal, yet deep, and filled with many High Adrenalin moments. Both are great for multiplayer too which can help in a small lineup.

    However, if you’re spending >$7500 I’d say stick to a non stern, so WOZ gets my vote in this case. But what about JJPOTC?

    Quoted from MMP:

    I dropped down from 3 games to 1 when we moved, so money is not the deciding factor. I have enough cash in my game fund to cover any reasonable choice.
    That being said, for a game like MBr I am drawn to the classic edition. There are too many extras on the others that don't appeal to me.

    Then If you don’t mind making out of the box minor tweaks; I vote JJPOTC all the way. So much to love about that game with tons of diversity; not just a great overall pin for a home use only environment, but perfect for a small pin lineup.

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Depth is a myth. A great game will always be a great game. Go for Monster Bash. It’s always fun & has a wonderful ruleset by the master, Lyman Sheats.

    Depth is a myth when you own 24 pins if you could only have 2 of your pins for all of 2019, which 2 would they be? Would MB be one of them?

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Yes. I’ve had MB for like 10 years and still love it. I like deep games, but not everything needs to be LOTR or TSPP to be fun. Fun and the overall experience of a game isn’t dependent on depth. That’s what I mean by “depth is a myth”. Depth isn’t a measure of fun or replayability for everyone.

    We should try a pinball experiment. Put all your pins but MB and one other in my garage for all of 2019 and see how the last ability is

    Kidding aside. You're spot on; Fun and last ability is different from one person to the next. I know people with small collections who've had MB for years and years and years.
