Gameplay

The game contains very similar gameplay to the board game it is based on, with various physical tasks being replaced by automation and digital representations.

Critical reception

IGN reviewer Aaron Boulding thought the ability to customise the game according to house rules was an "endearing" feature, and appreciated that it kept the spirit of the board game it was based on.[1] Nintendo Power Magazine praised certain aspects of the game, but thought there wasn't enough visual contrast between the different squares on the board. [2] Nintendojo thought the adaptation was "too true" to its source material and was disappointed it didn't contain gameplay such as mini games and skill events.[3] HonestGamers felt that the interface was "overly complicated" and "clumsy".[4] French review site X64 gave the game a rating of 50/100.[5]

gollark: If one what is stuck?
gollark: I was going to say, though: with human eyes - the light-sensitive bit is behind some other stuff, and while a goal-directed human engineer would probably go "I'll just rotate this thing then", if you don't have a convenient series of changes which still leave everything working in each intermediate state, you can't really get it evolving into the new version.
gollark: I... don't really know a massive amount about this, to be honest.
gollark: Or it got stuck in a local maximum, which happens a lot.
gollark: For biology, it's just really complicated, because of being run through ruthless optimization processes for billions of years.
