System 11 games are a perfect blend in this regard. Not too simple like an EM, but easy enough to know what to do after just a few games.

Quoted from DCP:Don't underrate EMs! To me, EMs are all about nudging and ball handling skills - the themes and rules don't mean that much. You have to be a GOOD player to get a high score on a lot of EMs. Try getting more than about 40k on my Zodiac, or see if you can get all of the colored balloons lit on Mini-Zag. You will play dozens of games before you start getting close.
All of my tilting technique and flipper skills came from years of EM practice, and I keep playing them to keep my reflexes as sharp as possible.
I love a good game of Hobbit or Monster Bash, but I'll always go back to Time Zone or Jungle Queen for the excitement of pure pinball.
No argument from me. The OP was talking about rules of the game. I never claimed EMs weren't fun or challenging.
I was referring only to the simple rulesets of the EM pins vs something slightly more involved like a system 11 game.
