I’m a huge fan of the Steam version if Twilight Struggle. Now, Playdek has released the game for iOS for $7.99. I haven’t had a chance to try it since I have an Android phone, but the screenshots look pretty slick. If it’s half as good an the Steam version, it’ll be pretty great.

Here’s to hoping it hits the Google Play store soon.

Want a copy of the recently released Steam version of Twilight Struggle? That’s awesome, because I’ve got one to give away.

There’s a catch. You need to do something for me. You need to comment on this thread. Any comment will do. You also need to spread the work, because I’m not giving this key away unless there’s at least 20 unique comments here.

Sound fair?

Really, even if it doesn’t, it’s your only way to possible win!

EDIT: I forgot to mention. I’ll pick a winner on Wednesday, April 20th, at noon EST. Also, comments are moderated, so if you don’t see yours show up right away, that’s why!

That’s it. Day’s over. Nothing else today can compare to the fact that Twilight Struggle is now out on Steam. One of my favorite games, though hardest to find someone to play with, can now be enjoyed in all its glory in digital form. Thank you, Playdek.

The game is still currently in Beta, so tweaks and fixes are still in store for the port, but the initial buzz I’m hearing is that it’s pretty great.

More to come when I get a chance to play for myself.

Playdek, the developer of several popular mobile tabletop games, is testing a new online organized play system that will work cross-platform and cross-game. The system, which I’m sure will eventually have a snazzy name, is planned for release within the next few months as an update within existing game apps.

While the new system will allow the profiles, avatars, chats, messages, and friend lists typical of online play spaces, its real focus will be on organizing tournaments—of various lengths—for Playdek’s competitive games such as Summoner Wars and Ascension. At the beginning, the organization of new tournaments will be automated. Eventually, though, users will be able to initiate tournaments in single-elimination, double-elimination, and other formats.
