I have both Star Wars, turtles and JP. Both your new ideas are great games - turtles is fast and brutal vs JP is deeper with challenging rules. I don’t you think you can go wrong with either. Glad to give you more information or thoughts of you would like.

I will throw in a vote for Guardians of the galaxy. Very easy to understand, but deep enough to keep you interested. Worse case scenario, just tell guests to keep hitting Groot.

I have a JP and while I believe it’s the best game out there right now the rules are not super straight forward. Casual players like hitting the truck and starting T Rex multiball or going for raptor multiball but beyond that most are lost.
I have put a lot of time in on Guardians and would highly recommend that. It’s very straight forward with both the multiballs and the modes, yet fairly challenging to get to the wizard modes.

Attack from Mars remake, easy to understand rules, a proven top ten of all time.

Deadpool would be my recommendation. It has that addictive one more game feel with great family friendly humor, amazing sound track, and approachable rule set for all skill levels.

Listen to the Freeeeeeek Kingdom: AFM is a great game for beginners and pros alike, as is its doppelganger, Stranger Things. (Don't listen to the naysayers on Pinside...it's really a fun game that people at my house play more than any other game.) If questionable content for your kids is an issue, AFM is more family-friendly. Or consider a game with longer than normal ball times, like Lord of the Rings. Beginners like playing that because they don't drain every 5 seconds.

I second Stranger Things. We were going to get Attack From Mars remake special edition and we were playing Stranger things at Tilt Studios and we really liked it. We went and played an Attack From Mars SE at a different location to try it again and we didn’t care for it anymore. Even my daughters did nothing have as much fun with at after playing Stranger Things.

I bought a pro for Christmas and the family loves it. Nothing scary or inappropriate that I have seen but there is an adult setting you can turn on and off. If you can get a deposit down for Elvira I would get that one also. I put a deposit down for one. Really fun game and can’t wait to get it. Now waiting for the Godzilla reveal next.

Glad you are looking at buying another pin ... cos you can never have just one!

AFM and Stranger Things have an open PF and are easy and fun to play, and keep drawing you back for another game. They aren't a brutal as JP2 or Turtles, but if looking at these 2 then JP2 would be my pick.
