Weak AI mars otherwise great game
Infomancy
The weakness of the AI is the only complaint I have with this otherwise excellent rendition of a great board game. Would love to see an option for a harder AI. Any chance of making this a universal app for better iPad support too?
Fun board game
Eblenzar
Lots of replayable fun. Hoping for harder AI in updates. Thank you for including hot seat mode.
A great board game in your pocket.
Anthony Afterwit
Great stock/train game. I'm a big fan of board games - Railroads of the World and Le Havre are probably my favorites. Wabash Canonball (the board game version is called Chicago Express) is an excellent game. The interface for the iphone version is great. No online multiplayer, but it does have pass & play. You can also play against the a.i., although there is no difficulty setting. My first ten or so games against the computer were really fun, but it is starting to feel a little samey. That said, this game is a must have for any board game enthusiast looking for a deep, quick, cutthroat, zero-randomness, strategy game. I'll wait 'till they add online multiplayer to give it the fifth star.
Great game BUT needs an AI upgrade
gt_peter
This is an excellent implementation of the board game. The game plays well and all of the information is easily available to play. However, the AI is very weak and I find I only lose when one AI player throws himself under the bus to make me lose to another AI. Also given how quickly games go on the phone the single map is going to get old quick, please add some extra maps or the ability to use player generated maps (see Lux).
Nice adaptation
Michael Brazinski
A nice adaptation of Chicago Express. It works very well with just human players too! As others have expressed, an iPad version that has a board has the values on the board is what this needs to be perfect. That and the ability to see the whole board.
AI tougher with 5
audible listener
Nice implementation of a great game. I also find the AI weak with 3 or 4 player. But at least so far significantly tougher to beat playing 5.
Not worth the price
Romanjj
It's an okay game for a $1 but it isnt worth $5 no way, the game is way too short, and you always beat the computers. It needs some major improvements!
Excellent Translation to iOS
TzarXristo
Great translation of an excellent board game. The rules and tutorial provide enough information to get new players into the action and the UI and information screens are easy to understand and navigate. The AI is competent but not particularly creative, and hot seat mode would be to play with a friend. I hope the game gets enough of a following for the developer to add asynch online play...
Well might be beautiful if they improve the resolution
iPadReady
Yup, the resolution is for the iPhone, iTouch. You going to have to 2X zoom it for the iPad. Find this tiring to view as it is stretched out, that fuzzy out of focus look.
