Re: Who likes this years challenge?

Every year they put in some element that makes scoring a little tricky... some detail which makes an otherwise simple task more challenging. This year, I feel they have too many little things like that. the swinging rack, which rotates, and has little 'stingers' on each arm to make it more difficult to put the tubes on... it's just too much for me. It seems like there is so much making it hard to score usin the tubes, and so little making it hard to score with ramps. normally the game designers make the most challenging task the most rewarding, but I don't see that so much this year.
