    Hmm, I do love my Reiner Knizia games but I have to say that of all the ports being brought to the iPhone (both currently available and soon to be released) this just doesn't catch my attention like the others do =\

    I have no doubt I'll end up picking it up but i'll probably wait until I hear impressions first

    Thanks mrbass for starting this thread, much appreciated!

    I'm the main programmer on this game. I hope you will like it!

    Hopefully it should be available in the next few days! Though you can already ask anything, I'll try and answer what I can...

    This looks like something that is going to be crazy-addictive. :) Looking forward to it.

    Delay...

    Just a quick update:

    Unfortunately, Apple has just rejected the game on a technicality. We have fixed the issue and have re-submitted the app, hopefully it will be quicker to go through the re-approval system...

    I will post again as soon as the app is available. Sorry for the delay, if you were waiting for this game!
     
  7. Glad it was a quick fix otherwise it'd probably be in for the long haul waiting game that is.

    Gosh dang, Reiner Knizia, must be in love with the iPhone since he's not just commissioning folk to port his card/board games over to the iPhone but working with independent developers to create all new games! :D

    Seems to be a fruitful season for Knizia games on the iPhone/iPod. Roto and Monumental will be instant buys for me :) Thanks guys for keeping us up-to-date!

    What an excellent handle there, AGF! If abstract games strategy games are what you're all about Reiner Knizia is your main man! :p

    Thanks for the interest, guys! I can tell you I'm waiting very impatiently for Apple's approval... So frustrating!

    And I'll certainly grab Monumental when it's out!
