The Rat clan is good at sneaking, stealing, and stabbing the others in the back. In other words, there’s a lot to do and see and you won’t find it all in one (or two, or three) playthroughs. There are even rare cards that you can stumble upon as rewards for quests that you can only find if that quest pops up and you succeed at it. Each game has a strong narrative feel and there are enough quests and cards in the game that you’ll never get the same hand of cards twice. You’ll travel across the land interacting with quests, dungeons, the king’s forces and, yep, even taking out the other players in combat. You’ll have a hand of cards which will allow you to equip items such as weapons and armor, cast spells which can be either beneficial for you or painful for your adversaries, or lay traps using trickery. It’s Game of Thrones for the furry set, and the gameplay tilts toward adventure board games such as Runebound rather than high strategy games. If you’re not familiar with Armello, it’s a digital board game in which the king is dying of something called Rot and the four animal clans are vying to take his place. I was lucky enough to sneak into the beta and the game is quite stunning on my iDevices.Īrmello's geography has always confused even the best of navigators, yet our course to iOS is sure.Īrmello is coming to iOS on March 15th, follow this link if you'd like to get an early preview! /QITNBuUynw You know what happens when we assume, and it happened again because it is coming to mobile and it’s coming next week on March 15. In fact, at Gen Con last year Brad and I were talking about Armello and we both assumed the mobile version was dead. After some prodding, League of Geeks promised us mobile was still in the cards, but over the years the Steam version kept getting more and more add-ons and updates and the mobile version seemed less and less likely. Back then it was set to debut in 2013, but was stalled in Kickstarter and development hell until September of 2015 when it arrived on Steam without much talk of a mobile version still in the works. Very, very good.ĭoes anyone remember Armello? It made a huge splash way back in 2012 when Owen first spotted the trailer that was, for a mobile game, jaw-dropping. Oh, I also got a chance to play Armello on both my phone and iPad and it’s good. The new attic ladder appears to be functional and I can’t wait to get a call from the school’s office today informing me that my kids decided to share their new vocabulary words.

This allowed me to do real-life things with them like fix my attic stairs and teach them a slew of new curse words. Sorry I was AWOL yesterday, but unbeknownst to me (and for no reason I can ascertain) my two younger kids had off school yesterday. IOS Universal, PC/Mac/Linux, PS4, Xbox One
