    I guess I have a different perspective. I expected to see how much time had passed on the poll. I probably play my machine 10 times a day. If something does not function properly, I fix it and keep on playing. I just don't understand why people will pay so much for a machine and only play it like 100 times. Almost like they don't really like playing their brand new machine after paying a mountain of cash for it. So, if you have a machine for about a year, it will probably get pretty easy to know the rules and all the details and it becomes less challenging to blow it up. From my perspective, that is when the honeymoon is over. Playing the game 100 times will probably happen in the 1st week in my case.

    OP
    Quoted from SBrothers:

    Yeah I thought about adding a “number of days” poll option but then felt it better to pick one data point. Seemed like “number of plays” was a better gauge than “number of days”. Mainly because I feel like you do...if a game has sit in a collection for a year with only 50 plays on it, then in my opinion it may as well be in a curio cabinet to keep the dust off it.
    I’m more interested in knowing how many plays before you can determine whether or not you like, love, hate or are indifferent on a machine you purchased.

    That all depends on how deep the rule set is, or how much you enjoy playing a particular machine.
