  • Loved it!

    I loved this game so much! Please put out another game like this soon.
  • Great game.

    Great game. I wish they would come out with another expansion pack or update each city with another couple More starting scenarios, adding to the 3 per city they have now. I played this game. After a while deleted everything and played it again. I want more.
  • California residents A Rare Find! Absolutely great game free!!

    This game is amazing!! Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this game to the public! Not only fun but so educational about the history of California! I highly recommend this to everyone and any age over 8 up to 75. Thank you again!
  • EUREKA! Aunt Kathy 7/30/2015

    Wonderful game. Beautiful graphics. I have played through the California and Nevada scenarios. This has become a favorite especially since the sandbox mode has opened. The tasks are varied enough to really hold your interest as you build cities and mine your way across these to states. Replay value is truly a plus.

  • Epilogue doesn't load

    I can choose Nevada city, read the introduction but pressing ok to start does nothing. It's just frozen. Bummed! I was looking forward to more play!
  • Expansion pack buggy

    The latest "Epilogue" expansion pack will not allow me to advance past the first city (Nevada City) on iPad. I have passed all goals, but it never recognizes that I have more than 300 residents. Love this game and want to do more ... Please help!
  • Good builder with room to grow

    Fundamentally, 1849 is a city builder with economic overtones. It compares favorably to PC classics like Pharaoh and the Caesar series, upon which it is heavily based. Artwork is variable -- landscapes and people are somewhat cartoonish and lack detail, but buildings are highly detailed artworks. The game itself is, as a city builder, highly enjoyable. The only lacking part is in its economics model; it is impossible to sell everything you can produce, meaning that, eventually, you're destined to become either a ghost town or one that's well past its glory days. (Bit of a history lesson in there.) Overall, a good game...probably not worth the $4 or $5 I paid, but well worth two to three...and well worth your time.

  • Awesome

    Tablet version no micro transactions computer version great but almost same as tablet but for more money
  • Great game

    Has a few warts, but overall lots of fun.
  • Fish cannery doesn't produce canned fish :(

    Great app!

    One issue - the fish cannery appears to produce canned meat instead of canned fish. When playing, can't sell/trade canned fish because it can't be produced.
