Free to play against CPU. Must pay small fee to connect to the Gametable service and play others.

The interface is fantastic as most of the implementations at Gametable are. Unfortunately the AI stinks. I gave it two stars; however, I am considering rating this as random. I always destroy the computer. I even tried taking a real long time completing my trip on purpose during one game and the longest connection any of my 3 cpu opponents had was 4 days. One of the opponents only had 1 day connected! In other words they had no two tiles that went together. You can almost do that by accident. I should have counted the amount of turns I took for this experiment, but it was a lot. Depending on what others report it might be worthwhile to move this down to 1 star.

This software is abandonware which is a software that is no longer supported or sold by the publisher. Hasbro, the current owner of all Avalon Hill titles, including 1830, probably does not like people getting illegal copies of 1830. However it is a trivial for them since both the board and video version of 1830 has been out of print for years.

** But it does not mean 1830 is free or ethical. **

Here is a link to Wikipedia's info on abbaonware:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware

I got my NEW copy of 1830 PC game from ebay for $20.00 including shipping. :D

who are you to judge what is ethical.
i would in no way pay 20 bucks for this! anyway, a majority of abandonware games are put on abandonware sites by the developers them selves.

I'd actually say "the right to keep things out of print" isn't an ethical right under copyright. Its a legal right, but there isn't anything ethical about it.

Copyright is *purely* devised to encourage the production of works for the betterment of society. Abandoned/orphaned works do not do that.

The computer 1830 is a great way to learn 18xx games.

The AI, in general, has a problem with looking ahead, once you get to see how it works, it becomes simple. My favorite used to be seeing if I could own all the companies by the end of the game, or other arbitraty, kind of silly, goals.

This version does not seem to allow a player to declare the game over if all corporations are safe. Furthermore it crashed for me when it became impossible for one corporation to reach 41 tiles.

How does this belong here? I thought the list was for games with AI only... this doesn't have any AI as it is a single player game, which makes it NOT fit in this list at all...

AI can be set of instructions, sort of a script--if this happens, then do this. Most developers keep the script opaque so you cannot tell that you are playing script.

Example of an opaque script: El Grande the PC game has several AI's including a scripted AI. The script is hidden from the user so you cannot tell that you are playing against a script.


Examples of two transparent scripts:

corn simple script--2 Player Taj Mahal.doc
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/file/info/8733



coffee complex script--PoF - dummy player.doc
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/file/info/5469

Quote:
...
" 1. If he has less than 300 florins and at least one of his [the scripted AI player] Artists can reach the minimum Work Number for the turn (adding all Bonus cards): he produces a Work. He uses the Artist producing the best work (if tied: choose randomly) and plays all his Bonus cards with him. (See “About works” below, but raise the “gold number” by 300!)
...


Solitaire games as a variation of a scripted AI and thus a fit for this list of games with AI.

b) This is not the boardgame version - this is a timed, reflex-dependant computer game where you have to move the tiles accurately to get the bot to the treasures before he walks into the skull.

Just to be clear, this edition doesn't use the new map, but artillery and destroyers can be used, plus healing battleships. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the game knows how to tell when it's over. The interface takes a bit of getting used to, but it's better than the Hasbro computer versions I've got (regular A&A and Iron Blitz). No, no Marines or carrying 1 unit + 1 infantry in transports.

Since this isn't a 1.0 version, they might still intend to add the remaining new rules and the new map, but the page linked to is just a dev download page, so I couldn't tell.

I would say the AI is
:meeple::meeple:nostarnostarnostar - Beginner

If you know how to play, you aren't going to lose solo against the computer (playing either side).

It is good for practicing strategies.

Solo play against the AI is free at gametableonline, but you have to pay a one-time fee ($4.95) to play others.

HOWEVER, you can play against others for free if you do it through gametableonline's Axis & Allies app through Facebook. You can take alternate turns with others offline (it saves the game status) OR play live.

The Facebook app does go down occasionally but it's not as bad as it used to be.

 Babylone, by Bruno Faidutti

Play as first player: http://lesplateaux.net/babylone/babylone.php?&N&0+0+0+1+1+1+...

Play as second player: http://lesplateaux.net/babylone/babylone.php?&Y&0+0+0+1+1+1+...

The AI should play a perfect game, so you have no chance if you play as the first player.

This is an absolutely brilliant piece of software, especially for those trying to improve their game, as its analysis package identifies moves that might have been better and suggests alternatives. Doesn't tell you why the move is better (you'll probably need to get a book like Magriel for that), but gradually you get the feeling when to make points, when to escape your back man, when to attack, etc. I feel my doubling game is much better since I started using this software.
