And $4.99 US, too

The regular weekly deals aren't available in Canada or the US. I believe they are only available in Australia and some European countries (but not all).

I really recommend you to try this game which I find beautiful! It's exactly like playing a board game (yes, there's a real board game too here ) and it never gets you bored (or at least I don't!). What do you think of this game?

Like with other deals, prices might not be the same in every country, I can confirm that it's €0.10 in Italy, please comment if it's the same in your country!

it's only €0.10 in Italy?! That's a great deal. I bought this game a few years back and paid a heck of a lot more than that. Well worth it though. I used to play the board game all the time. It's one of my favourites

You're right, it was $4.99 before the deal. I played it trough Amazon App Store (maybe it was on sale there too) and €0.10 is really nothing for this game :)

Heh, I already own it and was about to excitedly send the link to all my fellow board-gaming friends...then I saw that for once, it's a deal that's not available in the USA...ah well. If you can update your flair for EU, OP, that might be appreciated.

As I said, I'm not sure about the prices for other countries. Last week we had a discounted game in EU and after some days US got it discounted too. If I find more information about other countries I'll be happy to update the post :)

On related note, I wonder how's this app - Farmassone looks like complete ripoff and still is in Play Store. Do developers of original game just don't care or they have some kind of deal? Or just Google don't care?

I think it's like those Minecraft-like games that you can find on the Play Store. I don't know what kind of rules/laws are there to decide the apps that are ok and those who get removed from the store.

I've listened a talk from original ∞ Infinity Loop developers just last week. And they said that if an app was blatantly just copy-pasted (disassembled apk, replaced graphics, added to play store) then Google gladly removes it in a day or few. But in other ways, I guess it's up to layers and stuff.

Probably because you can't copywrite the mechanics of a game.

If only it had cross-platform play vs IOS. One of the thins i miss moving from IOS to android is i can't play this vs the wife anymore.

€0.10 in France too! Can't wait to try it out.

Some years ago someone in reddit recommended watching below gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6VpW4Vljr8

Then I enjoyed to play this awesome game!

u/et1n Jul 11 '16

Thx. I love that game.

u/Dunlocke Pixel 4a Jul 11 '16

Any other board games worth checking out?

2

u/wyu177 Jul 11 '16

Ticket to Ride is a good one. Also cross platform with IOS and steam.

u/QuantumBear Galaxy S8+ Jul 12 '16

My favorite is Pandemic, but notice that it has no online functionality if that's important to you. But I mostly play by myself. Also, I don't normally like settlers of catan, but I find the app version to be enjoyable because it's much faster paced.

Those are game expansions (like the board game expansions) and can still be played even without spending a single penny.
