Steam: Rails to Riches goes online with asynchronous play

no problem at all, Dave.
game has started. Jules is on.
player sequence randomizer pushed me to last place.
well deserved for my fail :cry:

not really from thin air. we must pay interest (different to Brass). and we can even go bankrupt in Steam.
but i totally agree with you that an important part of management and tension might get lost.
so it will be really interesting to feel the difference between both versions.

one thing is for sure: going bankrupt is a real danger in Standard.

Yahoo!!
the liner notes for the new 3.1 update go down into boardgame app history as “understatement of the year”, speaking of some "bugfixes and improvements ".

in fact it installed the mother of all improvements, also known as replays. :heart_eyes:

imho Steam has arrived in the top league of boardgame adaptations now.
deep gameplay, beautiful graphics, async, password protected private games (the best solution), notifications, options for Basic and Standard and now replays with adjustable animation speed.

watch out in the Tournaments chapter for an upcoming tournament :wink:
but before our both running games must be finished.

i can tell you, it’s so much more fun now :grin:

Dont forget persistent in game and lobby chat rooms :slight_smile:

oh…oh…
seems like we are running into problems in StatelyPlay II.

game notified and showed me that it would be my turn, but when im entering the game it’s still Dave’s turn to decide on 1$ revenue from Snotty’s transport on Dave’s track.

i hope that @whovian223 can go into the game now and allocate his 1$,
so that we could go on :flushed:

i have sent a feedback to the developers.

I did that last night, so it’s showing on my game as your turn now

holy moly! then we are hopelessly stuck.
from the outside game shows it’s my turn, but inside it’s still this:

i have tried for about eight times now.
exit the game, shut down the app, load and open SP II, view Snotty’s transport and then LOCKDOWN.
i will contact the devs once more.

The lobby says its Jammas turn, but in game I see the same as Jammas screenshot

I just tried to upload a screenshot, but it was too big.

Anyway, mine says that it’s @JammaTal’s turn.

So the game is screwed up.

a decent free app for downscaling screenshots is “Image Size” by vsmedia.de

so you can’t try again to allocate your $1?
when you enter the game it looks not like my screenshot?

all kind of information is important because i’m sending emails to the devs.
maybe they can even give our game a push?

it had happened before that different players had to allocate their shares of revenue, even with replays. never caused any problem.
but even only one time is one time too much :persevere:

i think we must keep forwarding this to the devs. they really care about their game and will have a strong interest to fix all bugs.

Doesn’t give me the option.

Here’s the screen shot

wow! very insightful. game has changed to next phase.
just not for me.
this will help the devs to catch and fix the bug.
i hope so.
thx for posting the screenshot.

Amazing great news from the Steam devs!
they are really very dedicated and care about the game.

just got this email:

“Thank you very much for your help! All of the information that you have provided was really helpful. The bug is fixed now :slight_smile: After the nearest update you will be able to continue the game.”

that really made my day.
it’s nice that we will be able to go on with game “Stately Play II”, but much more important is that one more bug will be squeezed :grin:

Looks like Ive taken the win in the basic game with a mix of deliveries and final income. Good game!

Did you all get notifications that the game was over, and got to see the end screen?

congrats to Snotty on a well deserved win in game Stately Play Basic!
GG indeed.
lots of fun.
for the most part of the game players’ turns were concealed in “fog” because we had no replays then.
but the end phase was absolutely enjoyable.
nice little gold, silver and bronze trophies :blush:

of course this was a kind of learning game. can’t wait to play more Steam games, with replays right from the start.
i would love to play/organize a tourney too.
i could announce it in ingame global chat.
we might get new registered users for Stately Play and more players for the tourney.

it functioned quite well for Hill Climb 2.
some new registered users, 2.5k views for the thread and more than 340 clicks for one of the links :smirk:

I did get the notification for the final results, which was nice.

And I’m not 100% sure if this game is for me, but I may give it one more try. :slight_smile:

game has a steep learning curve.
we are still learning by playing.
so more and more things will fall into places.

Im up for another. Maybe on the other free map? I think ive also got carcassone map and northern england
