I used to have a Maiden Pro and sold it to buy a JP Premium. I think both games are great and quite different from one another. Maiden's rules and gameplay seem more straight forward. It feels more like they based the rule's off of a 90's WPC game but with some added complexity. JP's rule-set is more complex. Of the two I prefer JP. I prefer the theme and feel that the gameplay and rules have more diversity. I feel like there are more ways to play the game, whereas in Maiden I feel like I play the game in a similar way most of the time and there was more wood chopping. I do miss Maiden but I definitely wouldn't give up my JP to get one back.
