Keeps me slightly entertained, but I have several complaints: - The "tutorials" are almost useless, as there are so many more aspects of the game that need to be explained. - There is very little logic as well as strategy in the game. The 3 star hires will many times either not do their job, or give incorrect advice (3 stars is the highest ranking you can hire). Overall, I'm quite unimpressed. Maybe their sequel will be better.

Overall I think this is a great game that appears to still be under fairly active development so I hope to see some improvements over time. A few things I'd suggest: 1) I'd like to see the repair/restore option be changed so that it only bumps it up one level and only takes one day (i.e. terrible to bad, bad to good, etc.). I feel like this would allow for greater versatility in repairing items, or getting to the item you want to repair immediately faster. 2) A wild card on the repair/restore option that occasionally reduces the value of the item. Similar to how restoring some antiques in real life can actually lower their value. 3) An option when using the expert to estimate the value of an item either estimate at the current condition, or do a restore/repair if you have a restorer available that would take the condition from any condition to a very good condition, and then do an estimate on the item. 4) General improvement in late game content/items. I find it frustrating to play for an hour and not come across any high dollar items, therefor not making much money. 5) Retaining current store for residual income when restarting game.

No ads on Play Pass! You can play for just a few minutes or longer. Make sure you cloud save. The game is addicting. You can manage your pawn shop, hire, and upgrade shops and skills over time. The customers' dialog can get repetitive but the objects they buy or sell have only been a little repetitive so far. You can see people's traits to haggle better. Lots of things to do and random events is fun. It is challenging to advance and make a lot of money. A lot depends on your choices and luck. Edited

Not as easy as it initially seems. Making money is very slow going, and it feels like I've hit a bit of a wall progress-wise even though I've only just started the game. Not sure if there's a "free version" of this, but I know I get this free with play pass, so I don't see ads or microtransactions. The game is fun even though it is very challenging. The random events are interesting to read. I think I might even give the second game a try after I finish this to see if they improved the gameplay.

The ending was so disappointing!! After working hard to level up and rent larger shops it ended abruptly with, "You Lose!" It didn't give me any warning nor any info as to why I lost. And the only option is to start from the beginning. It took hours to get where I was. Otherwise, I enjoyed playing a lot. Which is where the 2 stars come from. It kept me hooked for quite a while. Simple but challenging. Not so challenging that I wanted to give up
