Hi fellow board game fans, We just want to give you some hot preview of our upcoming board game adaption of "Las Vegas" which was nominated as "SPIEL DES JAHRES 2012" in Germany. It's easy to pick up and despite all the dice it offers lots of depth in terms of strategy. 2 to 4 players can compete in local as well as online matches - asynchronous gameplay included for you! Have a look at the rough teaser and the screenshots - the app will be released at the end of April. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Well, never played the real one. Very curious about it, so i'll buy it as soon as it comes out on the Store.
First can you play single player? Or is it all multiplayer? Second is the dice movement just for the video or is that how it will look? Cuz if that is how it will look I think I might be nauseous playing this!
I asked this in the Ravensburger sale thread, so forgive me for repeating, but can the camera motion be disabled. The game looks like fun, but I don't think I'll be able to handle the camera motion without getting nauseated.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Bummer. I do hope you are taking some of the requests to make the process a bit less showy, maybe somehow allow the extra animations to be turned off? I don't mind the camera work and such, but I think it could become a fair but annoying after a very short while.
I e-mailed Ravensburger for an update on the release date and was told that it is coming out this Thursday. Day one purchase for me!
