Metro - the board game

Initial impression is very unfavorable. The tutorial crashed towards the end of the learning game (the tile I placed disappeared and the AI opponent would not take their turn). The interface and graphics look dated but I could overlook that if the game ran correctly. The "help" menu option is nothing more than a very low resolution image of the rulebook with panning/scrolling and the text is too pixelated to read. I'll give it another try and maybe finish a game without it freezing but so far, not so good.

It plays exactly like the board game without the setup or clean up. The built in restrictions of the game are what make it an interesting puzzle. multiple levels of competition in the AI which can play competently and make the game a challenge.

Very good representation of the board game. The AI is very good and makes for a challenging match. My only wish is that it would randomize the start player. Going first has definite disadvantages very early and in the end game.
