What is interesting about this game is that even though it is played using an iOS, it simulates live board game play. It does this by having various opportunities to interact with other players. For example, at the end of the game you can trade stock/ownership of your company or money to better your chances at winning. Also, throughout the game you have the opportunity to negotiate with players in regards to work order bids.
Each round of each game is different so strategy is key. Time and resources are limited and you must be aware of not only your own properties but the properties surrounding them. Be sure to not neglect empty lots and just as important, be sure to identify which of your properties has little to no competition and configure it to maximize your profits. There are multiple ways to win so even if it looks as though your are struggling, make the right trade and you just might put yourself ahead of everybody else!
