Amazing game! They've definitely learned a lot in the years since Monster Prom and it really shows!

Marmalade Game Studio... you guys shouldn't make this that hard. The 3D geographical board and train animations are nice but this is also an app of one of the best selling board games of all time... please make it feel a little less showy. Allow us to toggle the animations and the board! That much minimum should be an option.

I would like a top down perspective of the board.
I would like for the animations not to require me to zoom in on the city automatically where I'm playing.
I would like to pass and play this game on mobile.

I've struggled with this game for the time that I've played it because I found these design choices to be a turn off when I'm choosing an app based board game. Please look at your colleagues - make this feel like a board game and not a video game with board game elements.

I know I haven't played much of this game, but I really felt like for as much as I love the tycoon-simulation genre of games. This game did not feel all that rewarding, I spent much of my time idling waiting for production queues to just work themselves through and realized I would ultimately just need to find a perfect ratio of employees to produce the resources I needed.

It's a very well balanced game from everything I've seen but when I started to look into the game to see if I was missing anything and found all the tutorials said I was on the right path... it just became really tough for me to find a nice flow state with the game.

If you enjoy optimization and the idea of making number go big, then this does those things really really well. But the game lacks so much flavor in it's execution, so if you're like me and thought this would be another Game Dev Tycoon unfortunately it doesn't quite have that same charm.

I hated this game

I hated playing this

I hated the 5 hours I spent in it

This game is just mean with it's puzzle solving and some of the "Tutorials" are trash. For those curious I completed the glass factory, symmetry island, desert ruins and started the Swamp. I then did two windmill puzzles and watched the most awful videos.

This game thinks itself so profound but manages to say so little. Just because something is disjointed, doesn't make it deep.

Sequel to Monster Prom and delivers much more of the same stupid fun you'll find in the first game.

That said I do find this to be a more difficult experience than Monster Prom. The Romantic Options seem to not just willing to date based on 1 or 2 stats being high.

This game also puts you into fewer positions where your RO will change unless you use the Campfire opportunities. Otherwise it feels like once I choose my RO while on the bus then I stick with them and we have our own little summer adventure.

i would love for the dev team to discuss the efforts to make this game feel different that the first as it seems to clearly have a different mentality behind it.

Love the game! Keep it up!

If you like the other jackbox games you will like this.

YDKJ - If you liked the old one you'll like this

Split the room- Good if you have a group that knows where to really split peoples opinions into an arguement

Zeeple Dome - Works for me, heard it doesn't for some. An okay action game.

Mad Verse City - Mad Libs but you have to rhyme and insult each other. Very funny.

Patently Stupid - I love the presentations, they're the funniest if you have a group that loves to perform.
