I played the pro was fairly underwhelming. I know the rules are not doing it any favors. I think the layout is ok, but I own IM, Met pro which are in the same ballpark.
I’m totally surprised Borg has not done another quasi Tron layout, he did XM but that’s also so long ago.
Not saying that games with similar layouts can not be fun as Met pro and IM or ST and SM. But sometimes you can go to the well once too often.
I think people were buying it because they like the retro nostalgia vibe like BM66 but myself I’ve not really bought anything on theme alone.
