Just a quick post to give the folks a heads up to keep an eye out for a couple of app versions of boardgames.
The first is for Jonathan’s favourite game (I still think it holds that lofty position) and probably in my Top 10 (I’d be surprised if it didn’t make the cut), Wingspan.
Finally Wingspan is coming to iOS.
You can currently pre-order Wingspan for iOS on the App Store for £9.99. Which is almost half of what I paid for the Switch version.
I’d like to think that they will have sorted out alerts to tell you when it’s your turn in an asynchronous game with friends. But I’m not going to hold my breathe over that.
Oh and Wingspan gets released for iOS on 20th July.
Next up is a digital version of the tile draft and set collection game Spirits of the Forest.
The app will have asynchronous multiplayer and a solitaire mode. Plus the price is amazing – it’s going to be FREE.
There is no release date at the mo. The app is awaiting Apple approval. I think this will appear with no warning. So as soon as I know (the publisher will be emailing KS backers of the expansion, of which I’m one when it’s out) you’ll know.
Wingspan is very, very high up the pecking order; tied at the top with Everdell at this present moment in time.
I enjoyed Spirits of the Forest when we played. Hoping this also finds its way to Android at some point :)
I believe SoF will be on Android as well
Just noticed that my top two games (Wingspan and Everdell) tie in with the ranking of Family Games on BGG; they have Wingspan at number 1 and Everdell at number 2. Does this mean that I am generally drawn to Family Games?
Another game I have been interested in trying is the Lost Ruins of Arnak, which is ranked as a Family Game at number 4.
And I have that game! Not played it naturally. Touch and go if the expansion is out before I get the game to the table
