Re: [Audyssey] My impressions of monopoly
Hi, Agreed. MikeF and Ryan did a really good job on this game. I played Mike for about three hours a couple days ago, and it was fantastic. Munawar A.

[Audyssey] My impressions of monopoly
Hi All, I just wanted to share my overall impressions of the new monopoly game released by RS Games. I'm quite pleased, for the most part.

I'd've liked to see them trading or a bit more actively trying to get monopolies. I do understand that coding a reasonable trading algorithm might be complicated though.

Re: [Audyssey] My impressions of monopoly
Hi Zack. I agree, auctions would be nice, but I'm not personally keen on the auction each time you land on a property and it's not baught rule. perhaps though they could be set up as an option later, though I imagine coding the bots to make bids inteligently might be something of a challenge. Beware the grue!
