OMG!
- Kate Schmidt
Hi Kate -- go get it!
- Stephen Mack
I'm withdrawing my "buy it" recommendation until the next bug fix release. 3 of the last 4 games I've played have got stuck during the computer players' turn. Also, save game doesn't work.

1.1 just released. Will advise if it solves these problems.

1.1 is much better. The AI is way smarter: they'll box you in, trade away all of a single resource type and then monopoly it back, etc
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin, I agree -- only played it once or twice, but the AI is better (they gang up on me more!) and no more crashes/freezes.
- Stephen Mack
Once they network-enable multi-player on it and fix the bugs, I might consider buying this one
- Matt Mastracci
Bugs are fixed, that I can vouch for. Agreed on the multi player (although on my iPhone I play more single player games and almost never action games because I rarely have long to play, so I prefer strategy). I always really want a leaderboard.

Help, my eyes are burning from that chart!
- Braden Kowitz
Also, what's with the sort order? I'd be interested to see if we're trending older or younger. (and how life expectancy of presidents is changing over the years)
- Braden Kowitz
The chart has Eisenhower serving only 4 years, but he served 8.
- Josh Wills
Wow, Hoover lived to 90! Back then!

You did this yourself, Kevin? Nice!
- Stephen Mack
I didn't make the chart. I just found it online and shared it. I agree that it would be nice to sort chronologically.
- Kevin Fox
Hmm, so shouldn't your sharing of it point to the source?
- Stephen Mack
Can't. The source is a private bulletin board with no original source cited.
- Kevin Fox
Gotcha. Thanks for sharing! I didn't know that if elected McCain would be the oldest president-elect.
- Stephen Mack
Too bad it's not sorted by age/life expectancy at the time :-)
- j1m
So all but a few Presidents died before the age that McCain would be at the end of a second term.
- MG Siegler
Yes, but life expectancy gets radically longer over the course of a century. LBJ is the only recent president to die of natural causes before the age of 78. GHWB, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, and Truman all made it into their 80s or even 90s, Eisenhower died at 78, JFK was shot, and the rest are still alive. Their fate provides a better prediction of McCain's age at death than that of the early presidents. What's more, his own parents' average age at death will be at least 83.
