I'm on day 3 of ownership as well and I have to admit that it took me a while to 'get it' with this game. I'm really enjoying it now, but the taste definitely had to be acquired. It takes a little getting used to, but once you understand the houses and how they all work the strategy really starts to kick in. I also now have a greater appreciation for the upper playfield and can't imagine the game without it, but I still want to get my hands on a Pro. I'm still learning, but would love to hear the strategic approaches you're all taking with each game.
