Reviews
New writing on tiles is way, way to small
White--Black
The new tiles are gorgeous, however, I own an iPad Pro and even on this large 10-inch screen I can’t read the incredibly small writing on the tiles. :/ I’m sure the printed tiles will be easier to read, but unfortunately, the online game is now dead to me. :(
It’s okay but buggy

Tile purchases are wrong. Allows you to buy tiles even if you don’t have enough money. If the printed price plus the market price equals more than your coins then you should not be able to buy the tile.
Enjoyable game

I originally gave it 3 stars because I found the new graphics hard to read, but I found the option to revert to old graphics and all is well.
Bugs

Updated graphics are super cute but I just caught my newly purchased tiles not increasing my income (yellow warehouse +2 for every touching blue business & +5 for blue new car dealership + another +2 for touching yellow warehouse. ?. If purchases don’t increase my scores, it’s not so fun.
Fantastic App (Updated Aug/2018)
AlaskaDaveAK
The bad reviews are all from older versions of this game - the updated version is perfect, and a 5-Star port of this wonderful board game! I love the multiplayer but also the solo challenges!! No bugs, full tutorial and great UI on iOS 11. Thank you to the design team!
Calculation for reputation is wrong
MysteryDawn1
It seems that you get reputation reductions for adjacent tiles, even when they are not adjacent. The game isn’t playable if it doesn’t follow the rules.
Not At All Worth It

The game is interesting, and the board game is probably fun. The app is poorly implemented. There is no save feature for single player games, and if you forget to go in and save your local game and the app restarts, it is gone. Campaign is only 10 scenarios and way to short to be worth the value of the game, especially considering each scenario is just a variation on the theme. All-in-all, probably about 2 hours of gameplay, and then into the used games folder to never be played again.
Needs update for modern devices

Please update the game for the iPhone XS Max and other new devices.
