What don't you like about POTC? The line about your family not liking the talking heads reminds me of when I first got a Funhouse. My daughter was totally creeped out with Rudy. FH had to go into an unfinished part of the basement and not with the other pins. Have you played Roadshow? Lawlor games (at least for me) have a weird sameness. I have a TAF, FH and TZ. Lots of tight shots on all of them and all can be frustrating. I have a POTC and it is a refreshingly straight forward game to play in contrast to the Lawlor pins.
