[QUOTE="EccentricFlower, post: 248807, member: 5393"] Not sure I agree. From the opposite end of the skill spectrum (that is, I suck, unlike all these uberpros cluttering up the forums :P), some tables are just more FUN to thump around with than others even if I'm equally bad at all of them. It's not always a question of whether a table is easy/punishing either. I persevere on a couple of ones I have trouble with, and there are some easy ones I don't care for. My first few games of Xenon were so bad that I rageposted here about it somewhere, but I kept at it because I enjoyed the table (and eventually got fairly good, though I'm still short one wizard goal). In contrast, my first games of Phantom of the Opera were equally bad, but I rarely ever play it unless I'm playing tables in "shuffle mode." The only thing I really like about the table is the nice clear sounds. I admit it's a mystery to me, and I wonder a lot what makes some tables appealing to some people and not others. There are a lot of people who like ST:TNG around here. It's never connected with me. Funhouse has been one of my favorites for years now - it's what got me to buy the Williams Collection Farsight put out way back in the day, before TPA existed - so it amuses me to find it listed here as a game others had to learn to love. Why is the original El Dorado fun and the remade El Dorado, with the same layout, very much not fun? Why do I like playing Central Park even though I admit that the difference between a good game and bad one is often a matter of sheer chance and I'm never going to get that last wizard goal on it anyway? Dunno. [/QUOTE]
