Boardwalk Builders

The idea of running a boardwalk sounds fun, but there isn’t much to do in the way of designing anything. Part of the fun with these types of games is designing and implementing your vision for your park, and Boardwalk Builders doesn’t do that. I’m placing shops and running those individual businesses. Too much busy work and not enough to keep me engaged.

It's time to build the best boardwalk ever!

Boardwalk Builders is a nice little change of pace from Flynns Arcade, and while it might not have the immediate arcade thrills I normally associate with the publisher, I enjoyed its more relaxed approach. The combination of building, upgrading and gradually expanding your boardwalk gives you enough to keep coming back to, while the seaside setting adds a lovely nostalgic touch for me personally. It’s not a big innovation in the genre. However, sometimes you just want to build some shops, watch people wander around your boardwalk and switch your brain off for a while. And for that purpose, Boardwalk Builders does the job rather nicely.
