    It submitted April 23 to the App Store, so I'm gonna guess we'll be lucky if it just slips in late next week.

    This will be an epic release. It's almost a shame this boardgame is better then 3/4 of the 4x games we have on iOS. Having it on our iPad's is going to kick but, now I can play single player which is why I love these conversions so much

    Yes exactly. I've never played the game, but HOLY MOSES IT LOOKS SO COOOOOOOL!!!

    I can't wait. I really can't. I'm glad I haven't followed it more, because I don't think I could contain my desire for as long as everyone else has.

    looks great and will be bought! :) wanted to buy the tabletop game, but somehow never got to it.

    is hot-seated multiplayer possible?

    Yes, hot-seat multiplayer and online multiplayer are both implemented. Of course you can also add AI players when playing a single or hot-seat game.

    I never played the boardgame - can someone tell me, how long a game of Eclipse usually lasts?

    Sure :) 1v1 game (against AI) is about 30 minutes. Epic 6 players game (you plus 5 AIs) is about 1.5h - 2h.

    I think that Eclipse and Starbase Orion is the same.

    Starbase Orion looks like Master of Orion, but Eclipse really looks unique. Never having played the boardgame,
    I wonder what it is that I am looking at in the screenshots...

    It is discounted. Seven bucks for a hundred dollar game is a fantastic price reduction no matter how you look at it.

    That mentality makes me so irritated.

    BDC BUSTS THEIR BUTTS putting a stupid amount of energy into making a hugely complex board that, like Farmer has said, runs in the hundreds new.

    Because of the depth here, this is a day one buy. This is going to be epic, and well worth the money.

    I understand the concern when buying a questionable action game, but board game conversions are not given enough credit and man, it's worth $7 :(

    Oh if only it was out now :(
