I picked this up yesterday after reading a couple of very positive threads about it on BoardGame Geek and have been playing it pretty much nonstop ever since. The developer (who is active and responding to comments over there on BGG) suggests that his game is a strategic improvement over Settlers of Catan and I, and others, are of the same opinion.

Reminds me a bit of Slay, but I find this much more interesting.

Runs smoothly, I've not encountered any bugs or crashes while playing and am very much enjoying the learning curve to attain Game Center achievements.

The demo is free and the IAP to the full version is currently on sale.

I'm surprised that this is one which slipped under this forum's (usually excellent!) radar...

/agree

This game implements many of the rule changes that long-time Settlers of Catan players have been hoping for. It's worth $3 and is a steal at $1.

Same here. Feels really nice.
Let's try to get the dev into this thread ... I would love if he could do a little upgrade with symbols on the tokens .....

Since Slay has been my favorite computer game for about 15 years, this was enough of a recommendation for me to download and unlock it. I will post my impressions after I have spent some time with it.

I tried the game out based on this forum and really enjoyed it, so I went to upgrade and it looks like either the sale has finished or it's not working in the Australian store. Can anyone confirm if the sale is still on?

I'm in the US store, and purchased the IAP about 1 hr ago at the $0.99 price. Maybe the price ends the way they start, by propagating around?
