Which pin do you think is the best of these:

Surfer,Quick draw,Joker Poker-SS,Big brave...

Man, Joker Poker is certainly better than Big Brave. That's a no-brainer to me. The other two are great two player EM choices. It really comes down to personal preference when you compare two great games like Surfer and QD. I do like Joker Poker-SS more but mainly because it is a 4 player game. If you compare Fast Draw to JP-SS, I would have a hard time picking just one of the two. (That's probably why I own both.)

Surfer, Joker Poker, Big Brave and Quick Draw in that order.

Surfer is just a great design, great shots and a build-up Bonus game.

Joker Poker is a classic drop target game with brutal bounces, but a lot of fun.

Big Brave has the risk/reward vari-target of death, which I love.

Quick Draw is a favorite of a lot of folks until they realize those drop targets which are so fun to hit are not how you should be playing it. Sadly, as cool as the drop banks are, the best strategy is to stay away from the drop targets and just go for the top target areas over and over again. Better rules would've made this cool layout much more fun.

For FD/QD, I disagree. During a double bonus ball, your strategy should change on FD/QD to at least hitting the top most drop targets. They are safe. Also, if you attempt to hit drop targets from a cradled ball OR using dead flipper bounce passes, you chances of a ricochet to an out-lane are SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. This is when you should try to hit the targets using cradled shots or dead flipper bounce shots.

Even during a non-auto-lit-double-bonus ball, once you only have a couple drops left on a very long ball, they are worth getting though for the 5K point horseshoe shots. Especially after your bonus is maxed.

SS Joker Poker > the rest

Surfer.

Big Brave bores me (I don't like vari-targets much), I haven't spent enough time on Joker Poker (it's fun though). Between Quick Draw and Surfer I tend to play Surfer more, it has more stuff to do. But, I think Quick Draw is one of the best art packages around and getting all the drop targets down is definitely challenging.
