Quoted from Drac:I read people saying they played GZ a couple of times on location and just loved it and had to buy one. It wan't like this at all for me. I got an LE and really did not enjoy it much at first. The theme did nothing for me and the gameplay was just frustrating. It took maybe near 50 games before I started to get a good feel for the shots and rules and then it all just came together for me. I just love the game now and rate it one of the most fun I have played.
I thought the same about 2 other Elwin games - JP and AIQ. Initially a bit underwhelming, and pretty frustrating but just gradually opened up into brilliance. Maybe it's an Elwin thing, although it certainly didn't apply to Iron Maiden. I played that for 30 minutes and immediately ordered one.
