What was there not to believe? That they were introducing regional pricing anyway? Or that those three titles were just the first ones? Or that they added the “fair price” carrot to appease the userbase (mind you, not because the users were vocal on the forum, but because the issue had hurt their sales in the two weeks that passed since the previous statement)? Or that the introduction of various currencies wouldn’t exactly help with flat pricing for newer releases?

I think these things were made pretty clear; reading something different in them would have been a problem.

But you either didn’t read what I said, or you just like to repeat yourself how something you disagree with our fault.


With due respect, it is not for you to dictate what others can and are willing to do, what you doubt or not has no bearing on how others spend their money.


I guess I owe you a thanks before wishing you a nice day and life.

So witcher card game is release for galaxy also or am I horribly wrong?

How is the "story" of the game? I'm not sure what to expect since it's a board game. Does it actually have an interesting story each play-through? Is there any dialogue between characters or anything like that?

I played that with my brother too! I had completely forgotten about it until I saw your post. Such nostalgia :D

Well this is a little awkward, I had assumed it was a joke to make fun of the Dragon Age card game.

Lol! it IS a card game I thought it was a text adventure but you will draw from a deck. =P So perhaps dragon age is making fun of witcher. Or trying to..

(sigh) Witcher Adventure Game is NOT a card game. It's a board game. It has many cards - yes - but board and players pawns (or minis) are most important here. Card game is driven by cards e.g. Android: Netrunner, Star Wars CCG, Imperial Settlers.

There's a classification based on games' most important components. There are:
- board games,
- card games,
- miniature games,
- dice games.
Adventure games are not limited to video games. Tabletop board games have four main genres:

== THEMATIC GAMES (aka Ameritrash, American-style board games)

- games emphasize a highly developed theme (adventure games), characters, heroes, or factions with individually defined abilities,
- theme in Ameritrash is there to create in character or in world immersion,
- game rules are less important than atmosphere.
- usually feature a moderate to high level of luck and randomness (dice and/or cards),
- games like these often have many high quality components: boards, cards, minis, tokens, markers etc.
- player to player conflict is common, but co-op games are also very popular kind of Ameritrash games.
- thematic games are usually long (three hours, but even six are not so rare).
- examples: Twilight Imperium, Talisman, Arkham Horror, Battlestar Galactica, Runewars, Cosmic Encounter, StarCraft: The Board Game.
- Fantasy Flight Games is the biggest publisher of American-style board games.

== EUROGAMES (aka euros or German-Style board games),

- eurogames have a definite theme, however, the theme most often has very little to do with the gameplay. The focus instead is on the mechanics e.g. a game about space may be the same as a game about ancient Rome. Mechanics before theme.
- there is very little randomness or luck. Randomness that is there is mitigated by having the player decide what to do after a random event happens rather than before. Dice are rare, but not unheard of, in a Euro.
- player conflict (interaction) is indirect and usually involves competition over resources or points,
- combat is extremely rare,
- players are never eliminated from the game (all players are still playing when the game ends),
- much attention is paid to the artwork and components. Plastic and metal are rare, more often pieces are made of wood.
- examples: Puerto Rico, Caylus, El Grande, Agricola, Settlers of Catan, Power Grid, Tigris & Euphrates

== WARGAMES

- direct conflict - combat - is a foundation of wargames,
- they are focused strictly on military operations,
- extremely tactical approach, includes simulations,
- war theme; can be historical or fictional (e.g. World War II, Napoleonic Wars).
- exmples: Advanced Squad Leader, Combat Commander: Pacific, Fortress Europa, World in Flames, Paths of Glory
- subgenre: miniature wargames.

== ABSTRACT GAMES

- strategy games without any theme,
- luck is minimized.
- examples: chess, checkers, Go, Abalone,

There are also hybrids of these genres e.g. Robinson Crusoe - previous game of Ignacy Trzewiczek (TWAG's designer) is a mixture of Ameritrash and eurogame. The Witcher Adventure Game is also a hybrid, but more friendly to new players in boardgaming. It's similar weight to Talisman.

There are also other more family-friendly genres like party games, dexterity games, quiz games etc.

Bought it for €5.99 (−40%) just now. :)

Does this have touch support?

To be entirely fair, StarCraft is hard to get at a good price now. I managed to get my copy (with the expansion and promo) for 150, and that's considered really lucky. Sadly, the game didn't get much fanfare amongst the Blizzard community, and it really didn't pick up popularity until after it went out of print.

WarCraft the Board Game, however, can easily be found for a reasonable price; mind you, it's certainly not as detailed or robust as StarCraft, but it does an excellent job of capturing the overall feel of an RTS as board game... You know, minus the real time part.

And on the subject of Twilight Imperium, I'd love to try it one of these days- doubt I'd ever get my own copy, as I doubt I'd be able to bring it to the table enough to justify owning such a huge game, but I'd love to try it.

OSX but no Linux? Bring out the pitchforks guys.

Obviously youve never played anything by the British company Games Workshop makers of Blood Bowl and Warhammer,pvp games that are heavly infuanced by die rolls

Thanks! :) That makes sense now. I knew it was based on a board game but I wasn't sure if anything extra was added due to it being a videogame.

Please, make a linux version of this game, it looks pretty good

As would I. It IS expensive though, and it seems like one has to buy what amounts to the main game plus the two expansions before one has the complete experience.

Not to mention the fact that my gaming circle just does not have enough people who would be interested in that type of game or have the time to commit to that kind of game.

Thus, I cannot help but feel that I am losing out on an incredible gaming experience.

Same with the Game of Thrones board game.
