As soon as I saw this one come up I purchased, didn't even bother with the demo. Yes it is the same old characters and yes it is easy - mostly, but it is such a fun series and once you have completed it you can play the harder version plus there are a few other little added extras. Besides why ruin a good thing with a whole heap of changes.
Yes the instructions were poor, but weren't too hard to figure out what you were doing. Not the usual build and next level game. This one had more search and gather BUT it did not save my progress once my hour was up and after purchase I activated only to find I had to start back from the start, which was very annoying. Hopefully it is not an ongoing thing.
I recommend this game!

I found this game very repetitive. The same thing over and over again and the same loop of music over and over again. Not one I would recommend.
A completely different approach to Time Management. You have to click on people, places and items to pick them up, complete the tasks or buy and sell items you collect or need. Complete these tasks to go on to the next area of the map or go back through places you have already been to collect more required items. Other reviewer said dialogue is slow, just click on it and it goes. I have played the full hour and will be purchasing.

No real challenge. If you want a game where you get gold every time with no brain action this is the one for you. If you like to think about something then don't bother. Puzzles too easy even with 3 "limits" - time, number of moves and certain tiles to remove.

No real challenge. Records - you know, those round vinyl olden days things ;-) - drop down and you have to put the cover underneath before it lands to match them up. Otherwise you end up with less and less space below until the game ends. Bit of variety with a memory round every so often and you can listen to some of the albums with wild cards. They begin to fall faster but the game is just the same old thing over and over.
If you are looking for a fun T/M game then go to the Royal Envoy, Time Builders, Kingdom for a Princess or Roads of Rome series. There is definitely better value for money out there.

Nice clear tiles, easy to distinguish but seemed to be very easy boards.No real challenge. Theme music is easy to listen to but the one thing that really annoyed me is that at the end of each game you had to sit there while it listed all the points you had received then transferred all the points over to the total, line by line. Then waited before the ok button comes up and you can carry in to the next game. You play each game for 3-4 minutes then sit for a minute while scores are added on. I could not just click on the score screen and bypass it like you can normally do. Very frustrating and for that reason alone I would not buy the game.
