According to a recent update on their Kickstarter page (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clevermojogames/alien-frontiers-for-ipad), version 1.0 of this excellent board game was submitted last week and should be in the store soon!
Sweet, this has to one of my most wanted board games. Now I'm going to be checking ten times a day until it released. Any idea on price?
I think it was mentioned on their Kickstarter they hoped to launch at $4.99. Also worth noting, I believe this is iPad only. And I think it's Solo vs AI or pass-n-play Multiplayer; no online. As far as I know, I thought I heard, ymmv.
I thought this was an older thread. My comment didn't add anything, but I couldn't delete it. So I changed it. Ta da!
Correct. AF iPad is indeed for the iPad only at this point. We hope to add Universal in the first or second update, along with European languages integration. Also correct that AF iPad is solo play vs up to three AIs, each with four difficulty settings or pass and play with any mixture of human and AI players. Game Center integration will come in a v2 release, hopefully by the end of the year.
That's great news .Will be buying on Day one. Being able to play games like these which are not easily available(atleast in my country) makes my iPad2 purchase worth every penny
That's really good news for me, as recently I have grown a bit tired of online multiplayer, be it real-time or async, instead of a good AI. Instabuy on release day

Even if just some new attempt at porting the board game, to release this and at no point even acknowledge the board game it was based on makes me think there is something hinky afoot. Also a mark of quality that there isn't any sort of linked homepage for the developer. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
