Quoted from Whysnow:It is always a fun time. A clean well dialed in TAF is a blast to play for both noobs and oldtimers.
Well said, TAF is FUN, the theme is recognized by almost everyone, excellent PLaw layout, great flow, terrific music and call outs, great DMD animation, fantastic use of magnets, always a challenge to play but not so complicated that only advanced players can "get it", everything works on TAF.
That is why it was the most popular game ever, based on sales numbers. It remains popular over 20 years later, will still earn on route, very impressive. A true crowd pleaser is very hard to do and PLaw did it.
