    Thinking about a game in my home that I would play often vs. something I'd only have the chance to play on occasion my rank is below. My rank for go play a couple games OP would be different. I won't discount the themes because I'll assume you take that into account based on your tastes.

    *GOT Pro*
    The good: Deep Rules in "advanced mode" would make this one better for home since it will take awhile to learn and master the order of things to get mega scores. Good sound. Also, not a ton of maintenance needed on the Pro. The last game on the list I would play on premise. Confusing to really understand what the houses mean or why they are important etc. However, the "BLACKWATER MULTIBALL" callout is very gratifying and not a difficult mode to start.

    The bad: this ramp, that ramp, the other ramp, but somehow not a lot of flow still. Playfield art and design is lacking IMHO. Iron Throne toy on the Pro is so far out of my field of vision that it's a non-issue. Nothing visually special about this game.

    GB Pro
    Well-themed, fun art and a wide variety of shots for both flow and stop and go. A nice balance. Fun for the whole family. Rules aren't super complex, but enjoy to keep you interested as you have to progress up the ladder. Better DMD animations than GOT.

    The bad: Can be a tough game; family and friends may not enjoy it as much with so many stdm and outlane drains.

    *KISS Prem*
    I think this game is a lot of fun and I do not enjoy KISS music. It's a fun game to play for a wide range of skills. If these games were all side by side on premise, I would play KISS more and first. A nice balance of easy easy shots and a couple tougher ones. If you like the theme, it's tough to beat. Nice job on the theme. People complain about SDTM with the head kickout, but I haven't experienced that once.

    Also very good DMD animations.

    The love gun floating ball is kinda funny, but not a 'must have'. Pro might be fine.

    The bad: The rules aren't deep and could get kinda boring if it's the only game you get to play often. Gene Simmons' head on the playfield could potentially be tough to maintain.

    *TWD*
    sadly, I haven't played this yet, so I won't comment or rank.

    Quoted from markmon:

    The GoT rules are not deep. They're about as shallow as an early 90's B/W game. Just pound through the houses and get to the wizard mode. It's super easy to do, unfortunately. The only strategy is picking a different house on start. But you quickly learn some are more fun than others and end up always picking the same one or two houses on start. That eliminates all the strategy.

    Relative to KISS and GB, it at least has that option for the rules. Maybe it's not Deep like TH or something, but of the three I've played, it seems the deepest.

    That said, OP should listen to advice from someone who has owned it.
