    Thank you! We put six long months into development of this game! Sometimes we were working 12-14 hours a day on this app, but comments like this tell us it was worth it!

    I'm very excited that this game was released. Like some others here, I have not played the original board game. However, the exceptional graphics, coupled with enthusiasm and regular communication from the developers gave me reason to learn about the game, and follow its progress. I plan to download this app as soon as I can link to a wi-fi network.

    I am also very excited about an upcoming online-multiplayer mode. Congratulations to the developers on this release! I can't wait to play.

    This is an instant buy for me!

    It's great to see an ever-increasing presence of quality board games on iOS devices. =)

    Just heard about this a couple days ago. I know nothing about it, but people I trust for gaming reviews here at TA seem to be speaking well of it, so I'll probably pick it up. It looks very clean and well put together, and I usually get into strategy games anyway. Certainly high on my future-purchases list, just not sure how soon I'll open the wallet again (but very soon - I lack self-control).

    Looks like a very slick UI wrapped around an interesting game. I think I'll take VeganTnT's word for it and grab this.

    Please, please prove me wrong and somehow disagree with this upcoming statement, as I would love to be enlightened on the subject.

    To me, the fact board and bored rhymes isn't a coincidence - I find board games boring. The very premise just bores me, especially the fact that many board games are made for 2 players, and playing an ai would be lacklustre.

    But prove me wrong. Can someone post, about the game, and tell me how fun it is. Thank you!

    Yes, The video on the OP is the game running in 2x on an ipad but there is a separate HD version coming later.

    Just downloaded it, and it is everything I could have hopped for and more! It scales wonderfully on the iPad, and the pieces do not look pixelated in the least in 2x mode.

    To the naysayers who are ignoring this wonderful offering just because it is a board game: it is your loss. Board games are no longer the Monopoly, Game of Life, etc. form of "roll a die and move a piece" - they have evolved into something much greater, and Neuroshima Hex is a fantastic example of that evolution, as is Carcassonne and Reiner Knizia's Samurai.

    This game is great, both on the table and on the iPad, and I couldn't be happier with the care the developers put into this title. Bravo!
