Yes... the rumors are true! One of the top board games of all time will be released soon from Ravensburger Digital - Puerto Rico! We have been working hard to make sure everything is perfect and every little detail holds true to the original board game. There are high expectations, and we want to provide the best game possible to our fans. First - a look: Second: We are looking for 15 pre-launch beta testers. You must have a working knowledge of the board game, and of course an iPad. Preference will be given to Touch Arcade users with more seniority / number of posts. If you would like to participate, send an email to [email protected] with why you should be one of our beta testers! More information coming soon!
I was fortunate to get in on the beta, although due to surgery I have not been able to test the newest build. However, I can state without reservation that the exexcution is flawless, the in game hint system is wonderful and I am very much looking forward to having fun with PR for a long time to coe!
Same question. I find it odd, to say the least, that they wouldn't even be mentioned. It's very public knowledge that they were the developer for this project.
I'm absolutely thrilled that this is being developed. It looks great and is sure to provide countless hours of entertainment! Just out of curiosity, is there an estimate for the release date? Codito seemed to suggest at BGG that release would likely be around the middle of this month. However, being that you're just now looking for testers, I'd presume it's more like 1-2 months away. Is that a fair assessment?
Excellent news! Do you have any information on the multiplayer? Will we have local and/or online? I'm a big fan of board games and played a few rounds of Puerto Rico. It is an incredible game of a more subtle and elegant conflict between players... Can't wait to try it with my friends (or random people )
Codito also widely announced May 19 as the original release date, so I'd be cautious in believing every word they say. At the rate of progress we're seeing on PR, I'd say there's a 50/50 chance we'll be playing by Labor Day.
We are hoping to release the game around the beginning of August. This is a second round beta, there has already been an extensive round of QA done on the game, though we always like to get feedback from experienced gamers as much as possible before a release of this size.
I disagree. Not saying I won't buy this the second it's in the store - because I will. I've been anticipating this game's release since it was announced. I would not describe its design as gorgeous, though.
He, I agree to disagree with me. I didn't mean it on a aesthetical level, so the choice of word was not really right. I just wanted to say that it gave me a sudden urge to play the game.
I'm with you. Don't get me wrong as I'm over the moon that there will be an iOS version of my second favorite board game of all time (Agricola being #1), but I would have loved to see a greater nod to the excellent art of the hard copy version. Like a lot of Codito's games, this one just looks too "Windows 95ish."
I really can't say that I'm taken with the artwork, and I'm pretty skeptical about the success of this effort by Codito. This is one game that will require a Lite version for me to try before I take the plunge. I hope that's in the plans. To clarify - I know Puerto Rico is a great game. What I don't know is that this app is great.
Dear lord yes. Am I too late? Is there still time? If I chuck Catarcassoneuroshima Hex!, will I be given a beta key as redemption?
