    I'm looking to add another game and would like to keep both fairly long term. Space is currently limiting me to just two pins. Houdini has proven to be a good fit for my family, but I am having a hard time choosing the next one. I'd appreciate any input!

    I would say IMDN is at the bottom simply due to the least family-friendly theme of the bunch. I think that it's a very very fun game but my wife is just not into it. I'd rather get something we will both play. I have a couple of buddies who already own the game, and I can play it at a local bar so that one I could let go.

    Difficulty-wise we like Houdini and the unique theme is spot on.

    I have several older games on my wishlist. Finiding a nice Black Rose would be tempting, and I've never owned TSPP.

    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.

    So the strange thing is... I've never actually fully enjoyed playing DI on location but I am guessing some of my gripes could be remedied just by having the game at home and tweaking as needed. This game along with Star Wars is probably near the top of the heap.

    For you JJP owners, do you generally feel the extras are worth the money for the limited/collector series?

    #34 5 years ago

    Absolutely not... it's already been a while, I can handle the wait. But I would like any thoughts on JJP game tiers.

    Regarding other suggestions, I've already owned MET and TWD. Both good games but I would not buy them again over something different.

    I definitely appreciate the feedback. Right now my top choices that both my wife and I can agree on are 1) Star Wars premium, 2) wait and see about Munsters.

    I'm also still considering Dialed In or JJPOTC, but those do not appeal to my wife.

    Finally got to play DI in a home setting, and I can see what all the fuss is about. Mind changed, DI is now #1 choice but I am also considering another B/W classic such as TZ. Pirates is also a fun game, but personal preference I don't really care for upper playfields or action buttons.
