All the releases for tonight are already up in NZ and it's most likely that we'll see it either in the next few days or next week. Playdek isn't being very clear over at their FB page.

You know there's a card in Martial Law which makes a minion attack itself and its controller, right? Fun times ahead!

I agree that Tikal is probably my favourite games on paper, but the port is frustrating to sway the leastb (still I play I sometimes). Same for ra.
But puerto RICO was good, t&e is excellent and le havre is also excellent.

edit: if you have magic ... Well magic is much worse as port. It has more annoying glitches as in really annoying (the core game is fine).

If I told you I was considering removing Big Ghost from the next update, you'd know what I was talking about, right?

It's still "Waiting for Review". Based on past experience, if that doesn't change within the next couple of hours, it won't be today.

My money is on a Friday release, but only because that's the same date that Ascension was released last year.

I've tried 4 times to make it through the Le Havre tutorial, because I want to learn how to play the game. But every time, I get a push notification that it's my turn in Summoner Wars play testing, so I quit out to do that, and then I realize I have to start the tutorial over from the beginning again... :-(

I can see myself completely ignoring every other game for the first 2-3 days after Summoner Wars releases, can't blame you

I'll wait to play the real version of Le Havre some day, and not get a bad impression of the game from a half-baked Sage Games port. I have all their games through Puerto Rico, and while that one was certainly better than past efforts, it still left a fair bit to be desired, and that's still a lot wreckage they've left behind as they continue to churn out more half-hearted efforts instead making their existing ones good. They need a good artist. They need a good UI designer. They desperately need a good debugger.

Ok, sorry for the derailing. I saw Sage Games and had to vent. LOL.

You're letting your anger get the better of you. They've used the original art for nearly all parts of the game and i have yet to encounter a game breaking bug. There's a bug in the iPhone version that should be remedied soon. I guess you should wait for Agricola and then you can compare the two with video reviews to see if Sage Games have indeed done a poor job.

Are they doing Agricola too, or do you mean someone else is?

Playdek is doing Agricola, so you'll see two very different translations of two similar games by the same designer, Uwe Rosenberg. By the time Agricola is out you will also know whether Sage Games is serious about supporting Le Havre with fixes and possibly the Le Grand Herneau expansion.
