Wabash Cannonball

Wabash Cannonball is a solid game. The AI isn't amazing but isn't stupid, the mechanics are fun, and the style of play is quite different for 2 players vs. 5 players. It's a good game, and it's not Wabash's fault that it's not an 18xx. Why can't we have one of those for the iPad?? I live in hope.

Wonderful game. This game feels like it is somewhere in between Monopoly and Catan. A very influential mechanic is the player's ability to have economic interests or influence in companies that other players own the majority of. If you read the description or instructions, this can seem really confusing, but after two short games against the averagely skilled computer-controlled players, the mechanics reveal a different perspective than you are used to rather than a complex one that you are incapable of understanding. You'll be thinking in terms of shares instead of cash; sabatoging companies you own stakes in to rid the majority stakeholder of capital. The game design expresses some intriguing inherent tendencies of capitalist expansion. Now for feature requests: Please make the end game triggers optional. I would get so much more enjoyment out if this game if I could make it last longer. I understand that this was originally a boardgame for people who might not want to play for long periods of time, but it's an iphone game now. The game here is most likely going to be a solitary experience. Ignore the precedent and embrace the new medium. Make the three states that end the game optional. That's a polite request. Love the game, it's really fun and thought-provoking.

Good app,would be 5 stars with game center network online play.

I Initially gave this five stars but I have reduced that due to the lack of online or multi device play. Pass and play is lame. Also I would like to see more AI options. Still worth $.99 but I would gladly pay $5-$6 if changes were made.

The iPhone / iPad rendition of the board game Chicago Express. A very good translation to the iDevice.
