I was going to sleep and quickly downloaded this game when I saw the price drop to free. I've been monitoring the game for a while and it had a recent price drop to $4.99 and tonight dropped to free. Not sue why or for how long!

I wonder how long the sale was =\ HotHamBoy Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2015 204 4 16 #9 HotHamBoy, Nov 3, 2016 You guys who missed the sale should still by the game. It's $7, that's a steal. The physical version of this board game retails for $99.99 because of all the pieces involved. Even on Amazon it is selling for $60 after a 39% discount. eugenemcardle Well-Known Member May 21, 2013 357 9 18 Retired, Math/Science Teacher, Air Force Electron Redcliffe Queensland Australia #10 eugenemcardle, Oct 23, 2020 Eclipse just got an update, first one in 4 years. eugenemcardle Well-Known Member May 21, 2013 357 9 18 Retired, Math/Science Teacher, Air Force Electron Redcliffe Queensland Australia #11 eugenemcardle, Oct 23, 2020 Plays great. Love this game. Son of Anarchy likes this. mgambino Well-Known Member Aug 13, 2014 139 85 28 #12 mgambino, Nov 6, 2020 Did the iOS version change publishers? I could have sworn I read that a new version was being worked on by Portal Games along with a new version of Neuroshima Hex? Great board game though... (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
