Be the biggest contractor in the valley.

THE CONSTRUCTION GAME STORY...
In 1992, as luck would have it, a civil engineer named Dave Zimmerman encountered THE FARMING GAME. Dave's 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 Dave's 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., George's game company. Preparing to manufacture THE CONSTRUCTION GAME in the new library-sized box, George and Ann Rohrbacher treated the game like they'd 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 you'll 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

Redownloaded the game but it keeps saying the developer of the app needs to update it for the iOS on my phone, it needs to be updated an kept I shape
I’m glad this exists....but.....
The Farming Game and the construction game are my absolute favorite board games. I was excited to find this electronic version and downloaded it immediately. I have enjoyed using it to a point. There is another review that criticizes the randomness of the dice rolls, and I do believe it’s right. I have found myself getting very frustrated when my player will circle the board 3 or 4 times in a row not once landing on a paying square, only to have the next few “income” rolls be a 1 or a 2 while the computer players are consistently landing on paying squares and rolling a 3 or more. This does work to sharpen personal strategy, but once you’ve played a few dozen games it takes all of the enjoyment out of playing anymore. Maybe instead of one random number generator for the whole game it could be rewritten with a random number generator for each player... just a thought.
Great Classic!
I am the creator of this app. I've 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.
