Quoted from Strummy:If you like pinball then this would be a great game for you to keep and enjoy for a while. I am by no means at any elite level in this hobby. I suck at pinball. But I have a great time playing. Just my 2 cents.
Agreed, one of may favorite Ritchie games, definitely top 5 for me all time. Theme, flow, decent rule set, and approachable for players of various skill levels.
OP you should see if the father in law would consider you moving it to your house on loan and enjoy the hell out of that game. That is unless it is needing to be sold for financial reasons. There aren't too many other games I could think of that have the potential to get you hooked on this great hobby.
