I owned a high end ToM. The game didn't last long.
I think it's rules are very lacking. It could have been so much more.
TWD is great getting better with each code update.
Theme isn't everything. I mean if you're a huge baseball fan are you really going to own a Frank Thomas Big Hurt?
There are too many games out there to get hung up on one for theme alone. If you can really only afford to have one at a time, then rotate them in and out. There's like 4k ToMs out there. If you end up missing yours immensely down the road, it won't be that hard to find a nice one again.
