SS for TOM

$$$ wise they are probably the same if in the same condition.
I love the humor in SS..... so SS gets the nod with me.
It comes down to which theme you like better!

Quoted from PromoJoe23:
IMHO...it's trading themes really, not games. Do you like Elvira or do you "have the magic"? I really like both games but I find them very similar.

They are similar, no question. Look at the layouts of each. Very similar. Pops in the same place, similar ramp placement, scoop/basement in the same place, the "spell" and "magic" targets are in the same place, etc.

I've owned them both, and really enjoy both. ToM seemed more repetitive to me, not because of hitting the Trunk, but the constant hitting of the loop to get the multiplier up to 8x. That was a bit boring.

I've played both and own TOM, so my vote goes to making the trade.

I wouldn't. I've owned 2 ToM's n honestly don't miss it. The difference between the 2 to me is one has a wizard mode worth getting to while the other is kinda like kissing your sister.

Keep the SS you won't find one as nice as what you have In a long time and if you do it wi be expensive.

Sell LOTR if your really dead set on TOM. Atleast that's what I'd do.

Owned ToM, but it didn't last very long in the collection. SS is so much more fun to play and the humor is awesome..... a definite keeper in my collection. Plus it's my wife's favorite, so it's not going anywhere!

Keep the SS she's a beauty! Buy that ToM she's just as nice... sacrifice LOTR. Or, expand that amazing gameroom you have : )

If you had to sell a Stern I would get rid of IM and keep LOTR. Having played both and owning a TOM, my opinion is TOM>SS. SS is a fun and great looking game but I think TOM has better variety of flowing shots.
