So your walk in the park might be someone else's hard time. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Personally I think it has the balance just right. It has some cruel draining spots and a few shots that aren't easy to pull off (Haven't quite figured out to securely aim for the right ramp and special hole yet), but I don't find it frustrating or annoying to play. Probably because you don't have way too many long-term goals and modes to achieve (because THEN those drains would manage to p**s me off, like with that Star Trek table, for instance), and because of the charming theme and its presentation. While the characters aren't as varied as on Taxi (one more female character wouldn't have hurt), they're still quite fun. I especially like that Margaret Thatcher-type lady who starts to shout "I haven't got all day!!" if she doesn't get served right away. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> I don't like it quite as much as Taxi though because the rules aren't quite as clear and tidy (I had to look more often than I expected into the rules because I couldn't figure them out on my own) and it doesn't play as tightly, but it's a really fun that I can see myself digging out every once in a while, even when we're well into Season 5 and far beyond. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I wasn't too much into most of what we got in Season 3 so far... but with this one and High Roller Casino it seems like we're finally getting some tables with long-term fun. To be honest I can't remember when I last played Junkyard or Black Knight 2000 - or what most of the tables even were, for that matter.</blockquote>
