This seems how it works.
Family over for gathering like Thanksgiving, birthday parties etc. It's a free for all they all choose different games. I check in and give them pointers and explain basic rules. I usually don't play.
Neighbor or neighbors that own pinballs that come over or I go to their house. Mostly we play the same game either 2 -4 players. We might play 3-4 at once and rotate the games as player one, two etc. Kind of like an assembly line.
