Innovative indie boardgame

I have played through the game a few times now ( I bought it at 4.99 ). I do not think I appreciated the complexity of rules until I played through the first time.

GamePlay:
-Not based on just luck
-Has real world scenarios for the cards
-Animations are too high res and can play slow
-Decisions about marketing affect the outcome of the game
-The last 20 squares of the lap can make or break your score (depending on your decisions)
-In depth rules screen, although you will get it after you are about 5 mins in

Re-Playability:
One gameplay session for me with one AI opponent was about 30 mins. The game has unlimited re playability since it is a board game and a different experience each time. I want to note that the game does save your position when a call comes in or you have to turn off the game.

About the dice:
While the die rolling appears at first to be random, I started to realize that by moving the cup and rolling in a certain way that I could increase my chances for the number I wanted. One neat thing about the cup is that the die is really moving in 3D and seems to have some advanced physics (thus being able to toss the phone upwards and the die will jump higher based on your swing) *Although here is one place that needs help. The die is sluggish, I found out that the die is made of 1000 polygons and that is what slows it down.

Marketing:
To pay or not pay when you approach the marketing square is one the core things about the game. But a neat thing about this game is that since they are an indie developer they did a few marketing things of their own and feature some marketing gurus like Guy Kawasaki in the game itself.

The Company:
Last thing to mention is the company behind the game. I talked to them at length and found that they are longtime gamers and really care about the gameplay experience. They are going to support the game and have some exciting plans for updates.

In conclusion, I feel it was a great effort for a indie developer on a highly competitive gaming platform. While quite a few are liking the game to Monopoly, I think the gameplay really sets the game into a whole different class. Some things could have been done a little better but the company is going to listen to us and continue to improve.
