Bounders and Cads

I read "turn based strategy" and actually got excited; so I bought it without really doing any further research. The problem is: there is no strategy. It's a very simple board game and nothing more. --- I'm struggling to figure out who this was designed for. Are you 90 years old and barely able to push 1 button to play? This might be the game for you. Are you buying this for a 3 year old because you think Monopoly might be too complicated for them? This might be a good game for them. I've been playing for about 2 hours now. Honestly I'm looking for some redeeming quality to it. Some part of me really wants to like this game; I actually like board games and quite frankly if this were even on par with Monopoly I would probably make this a positive review, but right now even $2 feels like a rip off. Let me explain: So you start the game by choosing 1 of 4 generic characters which amounts to little more than a colored token on the board. You spin a wheel instead of dice; but even with 2 digits on the wheel the highest move you can make is 6. The second wheel might as well not exist since there are only 7 outcomes: numbers 1 through 6 or action. Action will only ever show up if you …

Even at 2 euros this game feel like a rip off. You spend 95% of the time watching the AI moving your pawn and AI's pawn around the board and the 5% remaining only consist of obvious decisions. It's slow and boring. The design is also bad and rely only on chance, yes even more than monopoly.

This is the only game that I wish I had never played ever. Why didn't they at least try to make a good game. It's really, really bad. Boring, spiritless, ignoble mess.

Fun board game, reminds me a little of a European Monopoly. I enjoy board games, so for me it's a winner. Great price too!

quite enjoyable variation of a monopoly type game with unique twists. must land on an adjacent space to upgrade or create an entrance, no entrance = no rent properties share spaces, but only one entrance per space. NO TRADING, so must think about where and when to invest in the long term. Brigadier nipping at your heels can bleed you dry early on, but a fun factor. AI uses action cards fairly well, but idiotically purchases anything it can. chance cards are a good mix of cool, funny and infuriating, as is gameplay itself. good selection of resolutions and an optional windows mode graphics are fair to middlin' and suit the theme, except for the doors and owner symbols music has a quirky upbeat of the roaring 20's no tutorial, but help button suffices, easy to pick up and play cons: no volume control and music temporarily cuts out once in a while cannot zoom out view entire board have to spin, even if a card or event enforces a fixed movement of x spaces Brigadier pointless after the first player goes bankrupt HUB needs an indicator of players, color, and cash for handy reference only one token shown if multiple players in a space difficult to see how developed a property is from j…
