The visual polish on this game is great! The tutorial was a little confusing as I would lose the game while trying to read the prompts and then be trapped since neither the tutorial nor the end game page could continue forward
Interesting board game, it's a good idea and quite well made. However I didn't managed to win a single game, not even the tutorial, so maybe I'm terrible at it or the balance could be better. The audio is very good, fits well with the vibe.
Overall a good idea that could use a little more work but very promising!
Thanks for giving it a try. I was definitely trying to go for a digital boardgame feel. The bots were a later addition to make playing by your lonesome a little more entertaining. I have trouble beating the bots, and I know exactly how they work. Turns out that focusing on just constantly delivering the closest cargo to the closest place is generally a winning strategy. I think the most reliable way to beat the bots is to get an early cargo slot upgrade (bottom-right non-city port), and then prioritize delivering two cargos at a time instead of one. The game is meant to be a multiplayer experience first and foremost (mainly for my 3 kid).
