Does anybody know anything about this game? It appears to have been released a few days ago, but I couldn't find a thread here. I threw it on my wishlist when I came across a review on another site. It looks like an interesting strategy game. The developer website is in French, so it's hard to get much more info about the game seeing as I don't speak French. Anybody play it yet?

I was actually looking at this, but I get the impression that this is really a 2 player game. I usually play my games solo, especially locally, so I wasn't feeling too confident that the 1 player "training mode" would be worth it. If anyone tries this and can confirm I'd appreciate it.

That's what I thought, too, which would be a bummer for me since I don't play a lot of 2-player-1-device games. However, the lone review on the US app store indicates that the AI isn't that strong, leading me to believe there is some sort of single player aspect to the game. If that's the case, then I'm definitely interested.

I think the emphasis is on two-player pass-n-play, though.
So it's the full game experience then? If that's the case I'll probably pick it up. Also, what are your impressions in general?

Kahmate
I know kahmate really well. I've been playing it for about year as a board game.
The board game's fun. It's kind of like chess but funnier. I play my son.

For information, I just bought the Ipad version. It' really cool. The animations are excellent. Adds whole dimension to game. And also the computer takes away all of the complexe side of the rules. I don't find myself consulting the rules anymore.

One thing missing is a good AI. The trainer is good to train with but it's not a good opponent. He's a bit lame. Apparently there will be an upgrade soon.

But you don't really need it as the game is best played with someone else. At least that my opinion.
It got a kind of Mario Kart touch to it. More fun when shared.
I definitely recommend this game.
