Ye Olde Inn

Of course we all know you CAN play with standard d6's (count 6 as black shield, 4-5 as white shield, 1-3 as skulls, for example) although it isn't as pretty.. . .

Trailer on youtube (sample) for the App

Looks like its for GooglePlay and Apple App store (no desktop version?).

Page explaining the App.

I guess I could try running the app off the (super slow) bluestacks emulator on my desktop.. . .

He's wondering how the Zargon app would even react to such a scenario. He wants to see if he can break this app, or if the app will even acknowledge that he literally ran out of doors to use.

Kurgan wrote:Interesting. Maybe the next "Unboxing" should be someone doing a video of a play-through of a few quests with the app? Could do well on Twitch.

"Darkfire Crag" replaces Blackfire Crag, as expected...

Gatch wrote:I don't think you should even need a VPN just to use an app for a board game; this sounds like an issue that needs solving, and that's...unfortunate. But it sounds like for the time being, you might have to pull some shenanigans just to use an app.

Hasbro needs to get on this, methinks.
