Mystic Vale Grows onto Steam – Early Access
We heard back in June that Nomad Games would be doing a number of Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG) titles. These titles included Cat Lady (recently released this month during my blog hiatus), Space Base (an awesome game), and the card-crafting game Mystic Vale. Imagine my surprise when I heard… Continue Reading “Mystic Vale Grows onto Steam – Early Access”
Ascension – Valley of the Ancients drops on Digital
Hi, my name is Dave. And I’m an Ascension addict. I had a sponsor who was helping me with it, but when I showed him my online profile and the number of games I’ve played, he ran away screaming. I’m not sure how to… Continue Reading “Ascension – Valley of the Ancients drops on Digital”
App Review – Terraforming Mars – Steam
(Edit – 5/29/19) – Terraforming Mars is now in beta on iOS and Android devices, and it’s pretty good! Still some issues, though. (Edit – 12/1/19) – Terraforming Mars iOS & Android is coming out on December 4! I would assume it will have… Continue Reading “App Review – Terraforming Mars – Steam”
App Review – Istanbul
Rubies make the world go around. Isn’t that what Marilyn Monroe always said? (Editor – Dating yourself *and* being wrong all in one sentence. That’s quite the accomplishment!) If you’re a merchant in Istanbul in some vague time period of the past, rubies are… Continue Reading “App Review – Istanbul”
App Review – MeteorFall
One of the most highly-acclaimed (except for the artwork, which unfortunately drives some people away) rogue-like deck-building apps is Dream Quest. For many users, Dream Quest is the epitome of what a deck-building rogue-like game is, and every future game in the genre will… Continue Reading “App Review – MeteorFall”
Digidiced Going to the Beautiful Country
Digidiced has a long history (in output, not necessarily in time) of producing quality board game apps for Steam and your mobile devices. I love everything that they’ve done so far (except Cottage Garden, which I haven’t played because the game itself doesn’t do… Continue Reading “Digidiced Going to the Beautiful Country”
App News – Race for the Galaxy goes to the Brink of War
I’ve been seriously neglectful of writing about boardgame apps recently, and it’s time to rectify that (I think I’ve been intimidated by Stately Play). So how about a big announcement (though late, of course, since I was on vacation) about one of the best… Continue Reading “App News – Race for the Galaxy goes to the Brink of War”
How Important is Async Multiplayer in Your Boardgame App?
Readers of this blog know that I love mobile implementations of some of my favourite boardgames, even going so far as preferring the app version of some of them. One of my favourite boardgame apps is Ascension, where I’ve logged just over 5000 multiplayer… Continue Reading “How Important is Async Multiplayer in Your Boardgame App?”
Star Realms App Update – Colony Wars
One of the best card game implementations for digital boardgames has to be the Star Realms app. This 2-player card game has you trying to reduce your opponent to zero Authority (sort of like a teenager does to his parents) meanwhile buying more ships… Continue Reading “Star Realms App Update – Colony Wars”
Keeping Track of Your Game Plays
Are you one of those people who keeps track of your games played? You want to know how many times you’ve played a game, how many times you’ve played it against certain opponents, how many times Bob has kicked your ass at a game?… Continue Reading “Keeping Track of Your Game Plays”
