    The only bad thing with Playdek is that they rarely fix bugs once an app is out, sadly. And even getting a reply back, barring automated response, is next to impossible.

    I can't speak to their customer service, but the games they make are flawless. What bug are you referring to? I've played several thousand games of Ascension and don't recall ever experiencing a crash or having rules not enforced. I'm not saying there are none, I just haven't see one. What bugs have you seen, I'm genuinely curious?

    It's due out this month! I am really looking forward to it. I own the board game and it is one of my favorites. But I'm also a little hesitant. To be honest I have pretty much stopped playing board games on my iOS devices. I have found that they tend to burn me out on the games and then I don't want to play them at all, real world or not. There's something to be said for NOT playing a game constantly. Still, I will buy this and hope it doesn't kill the magic for me….

    I will probably not play asynch at all. Asynch is the worst as far as burning me out is concerned. There is live play, so I will take advantage of that.

    yeah, well, one more disapointment in the likes of ultima, d&d arena, dungeonhunter 3 etc, and i wont buy another ios game unless it clearly states it is created by an indie or team of indies.

    enough is enough of slaughtering good concepts for pure greed. I'll keep the faith up one last time though :)

    Playdek started as an indie company and through making great games became a big developer. Or are company's only cool if they are indie and release crappy games and never make money.

    I have not played this boardgame before. In general, is it difficult to learn / play or it's somehow simple? For example Bang! is not easy but it's not very complicated either, so it's just fine! Thank you.

    It's essentially a resource management game themed as a lord sending out adventurers to do jobs and finish quests in he city of Waterdeep, purchasing new buildings and using your influence to gain resources and gain territory. Every lord gets private quests and overt quests so while you are trying to gain resources (resources are people or rather adventurers in this game, Wizards, Fighters, Rogues and Clerics) and complete quests you also have your own personal secret agenda to try and fulfill so you are balancing your actions each turn between fulfilling your quests and your secret agenda all the while trying to keep other players from reaching theirs. There is some level of learning curve but the basics of the game are easy enough to learn while it is open to your own strategy.

    If you need a comparison, it has elements of Agricola, Stone Age and Caylus while not being as complex as those, but also being just as fun!

    I was mostly thinking of wizards here, not the actual realizers. Im still so utterly disapointed with arena.. all those resources and concept, and thats what they came up with.

    This will definitely be a lot more complicated than Bang!

    I am looking forward to this game. I own the physical board game, it is a lot of fun and a great introduction of worker placement board games to new gamers. It is like a lighter version of Caylus, with a D&D theme which is a major plus.
