YMMV / Tales of the Arabian Nights

From the board game:

  • Fridge Logic: If you're playing as female, one particularly memorable encounter allows you to invoke this on a demon. You can find a captive princess hidden in a trapdoor and attempt to free her, but her demon captor and husband will show up and accuse you of trying to seduce her. You can point out the obvious — that you're a woman as well (the possibility of homosexuality isn't even brought up). The demon sheepishly agrees and lets you leave.
  • Iron Woobie: Taking the "Enduring Hardship" skill could possibly turn your character into one.

From the pinball machine:

  • Game-Breaker: Stacking Harem Multiball with the second stage of Genie Battle. The former is a frenzy-type mode where every switch hit scores a jackpot which rises by 5,000 points per bumper hit. The latter is a multiball which lasts indefinitely until either you or the genie wins the battle. It doesn't take a genius to put two and two together and figure out exactly why this is broken beyond belief. This is precisely why this game is typically avoided in expert-level tournaments, as skilled players can prolong this for literally hours and send their scores skyrocketing into the billions on a game where a generally good score usually only gets to around 50 million tops. Witness the insanity for yourself.
