Old Time Games for your iPhone

Gaming with traditional board games is irreplaceable entertainment for many people in countries all around the world. But lots of people are playing them on iPhone now, or on other electronic devices instead of the traditional way. There are so many beloved games in foreign lands that mean so much to people from an historic perspective that it would be hard for them to imagine a world without those games. Here in the United States for example, one of the most fun games of all time is Monopoly– the game of buying and selling property to become a real estate tycoon and own the most money and value by the end of the game.  People play Monopoly for hours and hours on end, with some games lasting half a night or longer.  The longest Monopoly game in history lasted 70 days straight!  It’s a way popular game, obviously.  Let’s talk about the iPhone version.

Players begin with 15 million monopoly bucks. On your turn, roll the dice and move the indicated number of spaces. Upon landing on a space, read directions on that space to see what can happen.

The winner is the wealthiest player at the end of the game. The user interface is straight forward and easy to understand, and people familiar with the game will certainly recognize what to do as soon as the app starts up.  It’s a little different from the board game but that is to be expected from an app based on a game that traditionally was played on a board.

Your character token is a great looking and well designed 3-D object that has animations, making the game at once more engaging and fun. One fun character is a Sumo wrestler who runs when moving from space to space.  All in all, we recommend this game to you.
