Quoted from Fezmid:Hey all -
So I finally have my two machines (T2 and MET Premium) in my theater. This weekend I'm having some friends over to watch a movie, and since at least half of them are interested in pinball, I'm assuming we'll spend some time playing after the film. There will be a max of 6 people playing, probably more like 4-5. What do you usually do when you have people over? I was planning on just having people play whatever they want without any structure, but I wanted to hear what other people have done in the past.
No structure at all. Just let them play. If you play with them, try to teach them the game in VERY easy manageable chunks. Like T2, "shoot the head" and MET "shoot sparky". Then let them ask you questions after they have done that for a while and want to know more.
Dollar games are always solid. May be tough to have them let you play though haha. One of the benefits of having EMs and early SS games. Friends learn those in 5 minutes and it gives them the false sense of confidence that they can beat you haha. dollar games galore with non-pinheads on my EMs.
Have fun!
