Summoner Wars Expansion Coming
The guys at Playdek have just announced that two new armies will be available for Summoner Wars via IAP this coming Monday, August 5. The two new armies are the Benders, a group of magicians who practice mind-control magic, and the Mountain Vargath, an army of goatmen. Also coming will be an update that adds a "Lore" menu which provides strategy and background information as well as a new AI opponent. The price for the expansion is $2.99USD. Summoner Wars is currently available for iOS Universal. It is FREE (but that's changing Monday as well...it will be $0.99USD starting then) and can be found on the App Store.

Cafe International on Sale
We also heard from Application Systems Heidelberg, who have put their port of Café International on sale to celebrate its 1-year anniversary. Haven't tried it yet? Now's your chance as you can pick it up for only $0.99USD. It's a fun game, and they've done a great job with it, so you can't go wrong for a buck. Cafe International is for iOS Universal and is available on the App Store.

Codito Games Still on Sale
Just a reminder that ALL Codito Development games are currently on sale to celebrate the release of A Brief History of the World last week. The sale only lasts through tomorrow (I think), so grab these now if you don't already have them (link to App Store buried in price):
Reiner Knizia's Tigris and Euphrates: $0.99USD
Reiner Knizia's Ra: $0.99USD
Tikal: $0.99USD
Le Havre (The Harbor): $0.99USD
A Brief History of the World: $2.99USD
Medici HD (iPad Only): $0.99USD
Medici (iPhone): $1.99USD
Seriously?! Mixes Digital and Physical
Seriously?! is a Kickstarter that, with 9 days to go, looks unlikely to meet it's funding goal. It's about $95,000 short with only 9 days to go. That said, it has an interesting concept of a physical trivia game that uses a smartphone (iOS or Android) as the moderator and physical cards that are read by your phone's camera. Ok, so it's not earth-shattering, but I would imagine this unholy union of digital and physical to keep popping up in game design as smartphones become more and more ubiquitous. Anyway, if you want to find out more you can check out their Kickstarter.
