Rush for Gold: Alaska

Glad I purchased this game. Fun to play more than once.

Easy enough to learn and get one star on each level, then two. Three took a while. Finished the game over a couple of weekends. I liked the strategy concept with the time management. You're not just watering plants and picking vegetables in this game.

The beauty of this game is that you get so much replay value from it as you hone your technique and strive for three stars on all 40 levels. The more stars you gather the more you can purchase to improve the settlers town. The music, sounds and varying pace of the game work together perfectly to help you direct the workers to achieve their tasks. The colour and variety of each level prevents it from being repetitive. Look out for the wolves, bears and gangsters which add a little extra challenge and fun to each level. The adorable little folk which run around in this game will make you laugh but they give a feel good factor to this game when they all dance, clap and cheer when you complete a goal. I also liked the speed up, slow down and extra resources buttons which you will have to use to get three stars on all levels.
