My games typically are short but fun. I don't own it, so it's new to me. I went and played one this weekend that had the center post and that made a huge difference. Actually, it was set up far to easy. I played one game on it and nearly got to stay puff. Had mass hysteria twice in one game. He did have it on 5 ball, and after ball 4 played, I walked away done. I thought I really wanted this game, but I'm on the fence now. I still like it, but not sure about owning it.
