The value story
The value story
Across all 72 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 60 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 77 percent. Talisman: Digital Classic Edition ($2.09, scores 52) outscores it, and so does Pixel Puzzles Ultimate Jigsaw Puzzles (free, scores 42). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
For those who haven't played the board game this is a fun relatively easy to learn game with a lot of variation. You can meet funny combination like flying dwarves, heroic ghouls, or beserker halfings. Then you take that group of people and try to expand into this area and gain as much money (i.e. points) within a certain number of rounds. You'll be playing multiple civilization in a single run but the whole game...
