A month has passed: Any news on multiplayer?

Btw, congrats Rombos for your nomination: http://www.deutscher-entwicklerpreis...d=50&Itemid=14

I have been waiting to pull the trigger until multiplayer was added. I wonder if it will go on sale on the 29th to celebrate the new version.

But then we couldn't afford all the champaign we need for celebration

No, seriously: I am sure you'll find the multiplayer alone worth the value of a Big Mac menu, and you can enjoy it much longer. Let alone all the other features on board

You may consider that you are going to need a considerable base player online to be a great experience, and people would buy the game with a sale (like him or like me).

Just saying!

Are there any matches planned with the developers? I want to test my skills!

I don't think that I am necessarily an expert in playing (unless you believe in conspiracy theory of developer favoring his own player somehow by dealing better cards ). I just played some first automatches, and lost them all

I think there are already plenty of better skilled people out there and automatching, so if you have no friends to invite, just try it (maybe we meet ;-)

Multiplayer update's out! I should have bought this months ago. It's the kind of board game with rules and gameplay that are easy to pick up, but that still require foresight and strategy to win.

Very nice update - the game gains more depth with human players
