The gameplay is criticized for favoring wealthy players, often referred to as "whales," which can create an imbalance. However, there is potential for enjoyment if the game were adapted to a single-player format and certain mechanics were refined.
- “If the game premise could be changed to single player, and a few of the inflation/population mechanics solidified, it would still be great fun.”
