THE CONSTRUCTION GAME STORY...
In 1992, as luck would have it, a civil engineer named Dave Zimmerman encountered THE FARMING GAME. Daves business is to provide earthwork estimates to construction contractors. He had also been working on a gaming model to describe the free-wheeling earthwork construction business when he stumbled across THE FARMING GAME. He was so impressed with the business gaming model contained within THE FARMING GAME, he contacted the inventor, George Rohrbacher, and asked George, if through a licensing agreement, that he might be able to adapt THE FARMING GAME to the construction business. After some wrangling, the two struck a deal and in 1993 THE CONSTRUCTION GAME hit the market. Praises for the new game came in from all over the world and the game orders swamped Daves engineering office that first Christmas. Dave was soon forced to choose between his first love, earthwork engineering, and the game business. Some years later, George and Dave struck another deal and THE CONSTRUCTION GAME became the property of The Weekend Farmer Co., Georges game company. Preparing to manufacture THE CONSTRUCTION GAME in the new library-sized box, George and Ann Rohrbacher treated the game like theyd acquired a classic automobile. They stripped THE CONSTRUCTION GAME down to its chaise and then rebuilt it lovingly, piece by piece, to their exacting factory specifications. The result, as you are soon to see, is one of the best games youll ever play. A close relative of THE FARMING GAME, to be sure, but THE CONSTRUCTION GAME is no clone! It stands on its own, a raucous good time - a hoot-and-a-half! Enjoy!!! George and Ann
Latest reviews of The Construction Game app for iPhone and iPad
I am the creator of this app. Ive played The Farming Game and The Construction Game board games since I was about 10 years old. When I first got a tablet it was one of the first games I looked for, but I couldn’t find it. When I got started doing apps as an independent developer, I contacted the creators of the game and got permission to do the app for them. This game is a great classic and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Gr8 game that Ive always wanted n so convenient on a phone. I only have one complaint to offer about this game and that is the way the computer can consistently roll high job payment numbers while a human player is lucky to roll anything above a 4 and rolling a six is almost nonexistent.
I have the farming game board game and was happy to see it as an app. Then I found The Construction Game and love it. So addicting and fun.
This game is amazing. I found this way of study guides that can take various forms programmer unfortunately it did not even pay attention to it, the way of the relatively poor is another place that in this case graphics eludes
