Gotta be honest, the entire board game concept is cool and all, but it really doesn't add much to the game. Not enough power ups to keep you engaged other then the joker ticket.
And once you're at the point of upgrading all your jobs, and have basically infinite money, you are effectively rolling the dice and running around in a circle until you finally land on that one event tile.
Overall though its a great game but it feels like the board-game hinders more then add interaction which is a shame.
