If instead you compare it to some other IOS card games it's expensive. But bottom line is, if it's a great game with good solid AI then this has to represent decent value for money, surely?

In comparison, Ticket to Ride is $1.99 and has Multiplayer as well as Singleplayer. But I digress, it might be cheap to you. I'm just saying $7.99 will deter many people from looking at this even if it's good. Tyska Active Member Aug 1, 2012 32 0 0 #19 Tyska, Aug 2, 2012 Wow, two very nice boardgames for iOS in one week!

Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #20 Appletini, Aug 2, 2012 What, you mean the trend of developers charging entirely reasonable prices for their products instead of driving themselves out of the market trying to compete at the $1 price point? This is certainly a trend that should continue. "Porting" in that sense implies that the developer just crammed a copy of the boardgame into a DVD drive/USB port and the game magically came into being. Physical copies of the cards may have existed, but none of the AI, UI, mechanics, artwork, sound effects, etc. existed in digital form before the developers spent time and money creating them. It's one thing to say the rules were already around in a paper gameplay manual, but another thing entirely to actually make those mechanics work in a video game adaptation. Carcassonne is NZ$13.99 and has done exceedingly well. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
