I first played this at shockwavedotcom and it was a lot of fun. It can be frustrating at times playing against the computer (the computer seems to have really good luck) but overall it's a nice twist on a classic. Me and me fiancée have played it for hours and had a nice time.

This game is most definitely fixed so the computer can't lose.
My husband and I played this a few times and loved it, but then we noticed when we added computer players that they could not lose a game. They let me beat my husband, or vice versa, but each time the game got to the point where one of us owned the majority of properties with houses on each property, the computer players started rolling whatever they had to in order to never land on anything that would make them lose. We checked it extensively; played the game over 10 times and longer than three hours each time to make sure, and the computer players would go around the board over 150 times and EACH time land on only park place, go to jail, or community chest/chance, because our properties with houses were everywhere else. We finally just gave up the game because it's most definitely fixed so that they cannot lose. It's too bad, because it would have been a great game otherwise.
We also noticed quite a few bugs in the game, including letting us view the board but not actually play when we saved a game.
