In Maglev Metro, utilize state-of-the-art magnetic levitation technology to build a metropolitan rail system, transporting workers and robots beneath the city. Replace aging Manhattan and Berlin subway systems with newer, faster, quieter technology. Enhance your rail system's abilities so that your passengers arrive at their destinations first. Efficiency is your key to success in this pick-up-and-deliver, tile-laying, engine-building game. Transparent tiles allow your route to overlap your opponents' tracks, winding you along from station to station. Robots efficiently upgrade and adjust your abilities, leveraging unique goals to maximize points. By the end of the game, the game board has morphed into a modern subway map, with brightly-colored routes connecting stations all over the city.

Nice implementation but some bugs
10/04/2022

Neal Games Digitally
Im enjoying the app so far. The tutorial is nice and the interface is very simple and easy to navigate. I have had a few times where my passengers have disappeared while loading/unloading if I try and look at the playerboard. Also there is no way to save a game so that it can be returned to later. Please add this feature! Most mobile gamers don’t finish an entire game session in one sitting.

Very poor tutorial and UI

I just bought this 30 minutes ago and regret it. The links to the tutorial videos did not work, and the tutorial, instead of explaining basic concepts like “units per action”, made me go through programmed movements. I had no idea why I could do what I could do until I downloaded the rules from BoardGameGeek. Then, the game requires you to be able to discern differences between hues on the player board that weren’t obvious to me, and there was no option to show the text of hues so I could figure out what robot/commuter was needed for which spot. (Obvious in some cases, but I apparently could not discern between a silver outline and a turquoise outline.) Not a user friendly experience for me.

Still buggy after about a year

I haven’t touched this game in about 2 years due to bugs with pass and play mode. I was happy to see there have been updates, so decided to try it again. The old bug (reported) had to do with pass-and-play and leaving the app mid-game and continuing later. Pass and Play has the same bugs as before. This time, the second player became an AI (was a person). Additionally, colors are very hard to distinguish for robots and people. In the board game this was fixed with silk-screening. Not here. Disappointing that the game remains for sale when it is not being maintained.

Still a few bugs

It’s a great implementation of the board game, but it has some game-stopping bugs: if I switch out to read my email and news for a few minutes, my game is lost without a trace; a couple of times it crashed, saying it was reporting a fatal error to the publishers; and once when I had pulled the last passengers, the bot’s turn froze without event the “thinking” indicator. I look forward to these getting fixed.UPDATE: Found another. Bot player built a track that cut off another of its tracks, then game froze.

Please update to the latest version of the app. We have made some improvements to the AI and added a saved game function that will allow you to return to a game in progress.
