I've only played the computer version which had some issues crashing and making me upset. Especially in the online multiplayer mode where I've played with up to 3 players at once on the phone.
(3-way calling is GREAT for mulitplayer online gaming...you can daisy chain at least 4 or more players if multiple people have 3-way. 4 is the max I've done. Is a blast!)
Never played the board game version. A & A is a good balance of simplicity/complexity/simulation and just plain FUN!
I highly recommend it to both newbie and oldie gamers.
