Great score and awesome machine. I second the recommendation for those on the fence. Keep it. I'm still trying to figure out how to kill smaug myself. I love this game. Nice write up. Now, go play more.

I think it's really important that players get enough time on machine learning the objectives before making a decision on the game. It is very daunting at first but once you learn it, it's really not that bad to understand. Seems like many people make a decision on it after playing one in the wild a couple games and not at correct set up and then are down on it.It is really just a great game and yes, I do love the playfield as is.

Pictures of stuck ball?

Well, I haven't seen that one yet. Can the green box move up any or bend the ramp down some?

Per my conversation with Frank a week or two ago, he's sending me pop guards and a new wire form once they figure out a few other issues on mine. So it sounds like if you contact them, they have them ready is what I gathered.
