If you play card games or board games on iOS, then you know Playdek’s high quality mobile games. Personally, I own almost all the games the company has published on iOS and have spent many hours with most of them. Playdek has decided to run a flash sale on both Agricola ($4.99) and Ascension (Free) until the end of month, so here’s your chance to get some great games (or their expansions) for cheap. A few quick words about the games first. Stoneblade’s Ascension is a deck-building card game where both players build their decks from a common pool of cards. Both the physical and digital versions of the game have been big hits, and Stoneblade has released many expansions that have provided plenty of variety. Now, Playdek has put the game’s latest expansions on sale, with Dawn of Champions dropping down to $1.99, and Darkness Unleashed and Realms Unraveled both dropping to $0.99.
The other game on sale is the award-winning Agricola, the 17th century farming simulator that has been featured prominently in the latest season of the TV show Orphan Black. Uwe Rosenberg’s celebrated board game has been turned into a great digital game by Playdek, and now you can be a farmer for just $2.99, down from $6.99. In addition, the game’s I & K Decks are both on sale for $0.99. Agricola received the Gamers’ Deck expansion recently (although that’s not on sale), so now’s your chance to get the base game and the expansions for really cheap. Just be warned, a farmer’s life isn’t easy, and neither is Agricola.
