Terrible Game

Save your money on this game. It lacks all the luster that the board game has. Just miserable to play and a terrible interface. I’d like my money back on this one.

Good, but....

Should be able to dismiss the final newspaper announcement so as to view the board.

Fun but multi player mode is impossible

Please please please fix your multiplayer interface. Bought the game to play as a family. We are used to the seedless integration of games like Ticket to Ride. This game would be fantastic but the multiplayer mode is a mess and makes connection impossible. Frustrated because we bought this for multiplayer specifically.

Please fix your multiplayer!!!

Will not work on iPad Pro

Won’t work on iPad Pro. Crashes immediately upon open8ng. Waste of money.

Multiplayer not working

The online multiplayer option does not work at all. When inviting players, it sends iCloud links that don’t do anything. Too bad, since this appears to be a decent game otherwise.
