    Quoted from tjc02002:

    That sounds to me exactly what he doesn't want. remember he couldn't master the hobbit.

    Ruleset on TNA is super simple and straight forward. Machine is new so less technical issues. I don't think he mentioned it has to be an easy to beat game.

    Thanks

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    As a casual player, I haven't found the concept and rules very approachable. I can appreciate what the game is, that it's wildly popular with tournament players, and the impressive achievement for a homebrew designer to get the game into production, but as a casual player, it's just not the kind of game I enjoy. If you had trouble with Hobbit, you will probably have trouble with TNA.
    I agree that SM is a fun game and is very approachable for casual players, and it isn't too expensive compared to other similar era games.

    Playfield is 1/10 as convoluted as new Sterns. Shots are straight forward (loops, scoops, drops) and light up with big bright simple to read inserts. LCD integration is simple (not a bunch of story) and requires no previous knowledge of the theme.

    Not a lot of fluff. Does not require player to understand in depth rules and storyline to get a decent score. TNA is an early 80's pin dressed up and presented nicely with todays tech.

    Thanks
    Blake
