Good adaptation, effective AI, still buggy

Overall this is solid, almost dangerously so. The issue is periodically it just gets stuck on a move with AI. I think it tends to be Jules but am not certain. Even pausing and going back wont get it unstuck though i would say this is only one game in 10 or 20.

Crashes + Some Fixes needed

As others have mentioned, the game sometimes freezes. Also, as others have mentioned, having to select the piece over and over again to try it in different places is tedious and not intuitive. Finally, on a small screen with older eyes, it can be difficult to trace tracks (especially from yellow stations). An option to have the game color in routes in progress might make gameplay easier in terms of strategy (boo!) but also easier in playability (yea!).

Game freezes

When I set the game up, it took me to a screen where all the players are listed on one side. The other side is blank. There is no way to leave this screen. No Start button. Just a frozen screen.

So I went to the Menu, then restarted the game. Same thing as before.

So I tried the Menu, then Help. I got the first Help screen. But again the game froze. There is no way to proceed from that first Help screen. And the Menu stopped responding.
