Summoner Wars (Plaid Hat Games + Playdek)

[sapphire_neo]

This whole experience of following a game from submission to release has not been very rewarding.

The latest update from Gary at BGG

Still "Waiting for Review". I'm assuming that the review teams don't work weekends. But if they surprise me with a review notification tomorrow, we'll roll it out as soon as it is ready.

So check back on Monday folks.

That's really too bad. I was looking forward to playing this all weekend while the wife and kids were out of town.

All the crappy and bug-filled apps that get through Apple's review process and they hold up a game from Playdek? Inexcusable.

Apple apparently does review apps over the weekend, possibly. So there's some quantum of hope, but not enough that you should keep checking for the release.

I really wanted to see this by Friday. That being said with all the content incoming with Summoner Wars I suppose it's just more game to Review.

Wish I knew more people who enjoyed the physical copy as much as I do.

I bought the physical copy after I couldn't wait for this any longer. Trying to teach my six year old now. This is by far the best board game I've ever played. Im hoping to see this way before Friday, I'm thinking Monday or Tuesday could be our day.

tell me how that goes. I have a hard time finding stuff for my 3 yr old. still I'm buying board games to pile up so as soon as she gets a bit older, we can play. I totally plan to buy Sunmoner Wars master set in preparation for that.

Right now it's kind of like playing it solitaire. Once he starts to read more I don't think he'll have a hard time jumping in. If anything it helped me get a good feel for the game and the different factions.

Here is a little light reading while we wait. The article is pretty recent.

You mean that there are actual people behind the scenes at Apple and not just evil robots?

And that it is not some conspiracy to keep YOUR favorite game from being released "on time"?

Nonsense! That's what they want you to believe. Don't fall for it.
