    Don't all updates have to be 64bit compatible these days?


    Edit:. Misread the date on previous posts. Doh!

    I'm thinking about buying this one, what about compatibility issue you're referring to?

    Also how many players play online?

    Where did you see that they were? I’ve looked and can’t find anything showing that they’re going to.

    It is, that’s still the compatibility issue being discussed :)

    I love this game, but it's only 32 bit! I hope a 64 bit update coming soon.

    They stated, some time ago, that they intended to update this game to 64-bit. I expect it to get an update before iOS 11 launches.

    The update was scheduled for August 23rd. I've been checking the AppStore with some regularity just for it. Not sure why it has been pushed back, but hope it is released soon, because I'm jonesing for it

    If you have bought it before, it asks you only to update. You don't have to download another version or buy anything. I have played it in iPhone 6 and I believe after a while when you get used to the new UI, it's better than before because you don't have to scroll so often as previously. It has ONLY landscape mode and not portrait anymore. In landscape mode, you have more or less all the info that you need. I think it has some bugs regarding the animation speed. Despite the fact that it has a bar where you adjust the speed, some elements, some animations ignore it. Also, I like that you don't have to double click on the cards - only one click. You can disable the pseudo 3D map parallax but it's not too useful btw.

    Super stoked about the update and saving of Waterdeep from the Appocalypse, though I also lament the loss of the portrait orientation as an option. Started playing this again on my iPad for the first time in over a year with the news of the update. Still a lot of fun and challenging gameplay! So, thanks for that #

    On another note, this page ( http://statelyplay.com/2017/09/01/the-new-lords-of-waterdeep-ready-for-action-today/ ) on Statelyplay.com says that Playdeck is dropping the price of the app as well as iap, but says that the iap are both $3. As I understand it $2.99 has been the regular price for both expansions and they have a few times been on sale for $.99 each. I had thought I purchased them both last time they were on sale, but now I cannot restore them. Does anyone else remember the regular price of the expansion IAP? If I cannot find my receipt email with the iap purchase I'll just buy them again, but it would be great to catch them on sale if they are just about to drop in price.

    I think the IAP were £2.99 normally, just checked my receipts folder but got them on sale at £0.79

    Love the update, bit of a shame to lose a portrait option, but I'm happier with landscape so I can use it easier on iPad (only used it on phone before).

    There are some nice new touches, improved summary page and better scoring page. New platforms should bring more players, basically some more Playdek awesomeness. I wish Playdek would make all board game conversions :)

    The conversion really is impressive, and I hope you're right about more to come due to the expanded platforms! They truly capture the feeling of playing a board game while simultaneously harnessing the immersion of interactive media.
