Township 4+

I started this game just for the pure enjoyment and break from life...this game is incredible! This can be an amazing teaching tool for your children or for students. This has the potential to teach people how to prioritize, calculate cost and return, and organize space effectively. The town people still want to be happy and you find yourself making judgement calls based on utility, need, demand, and what will increase population growth. You start off with a limited amount of everything, but it evolves and it’s absolutely brilliant. As your town grows, there’s more challenges on balancing…well, everything. I love this game! Very addicting.

You have a limited space for fields, fields you can only increase based on your population growth (because after all, with more fields mean more hands to work those fields), and you start off with only a few crops you can grow, each cost a certain amount and take a certain amount of time to grow. Eventually, you can have animals that produce their own products, produce and product that make other products and those products that can make more complex products. All the while, you have clients who request those products for varying money exchanges. Perfection.

I’ve been playing for years. The regattas offers items that can’t be found elsewhere. And all the other extra little games that are thrown in adds variety and lots of extra rewards. Love, love, love this game.

Sept 30-Had to change my review from a 5 to a 1. Just did the update 7.8.1 to fix some bugs in the 7.8 update. Now my town won’t open. I’m in the middle of a regatta and another game that is time sensitive. I’m going to lose all my progress. I tried to go thru township help support page but couldn’t get any answers there. This same thing happened to me before. I had to leave the game for a year before they finally did a fix that worked for me

Update - I deleted the game and installed it again. It took a long time to load but Township is open. It is no longer showing Township Production…just Township. I’m afraid to close it. Changed my rating from 1 to 4.

I've been playing this game for about seven years now. The farm simulation part is fine - once you get past a certain level, it's not really all that engaging anymore, but it's relaxing and mindless, which can be nice in a game. However, over the last couple of years, the game designers have been working hard on making the game LESS fun. They've introduced mini-games, which can be fun sometimes, but then they make the levels IMPOSSIBLE to beat without spending the game's currency, township cash (TC). Well, okay, they used to give out TC as reasonable rewards for comleting the games so it balanced out. Now they reset the prize pool every few days so that no one can win the TC, and they don't give it out as rewards nearly as much, if it all. I was happily paying $5 a month for their golden tickets because I wanted to support them, but now it's clear that they care more about a LOT more about money than player satisfaction. Customer support is worthless - you send them a message, and days later they MIGHT send a response, but there's no notification that you've seen a response, so you don't see it unless you check obsessively, and then they close the ticket within a day or two. I am really very unhappy with how this game has turned against its long-time players.
