August 26, 2017 - 1:42am

If you're anything like me, which since you're here and most likely interested in board games that means you're not far off the mark, you're probably also interested in mobile and Steam versions of popular board games. Digital board games have been a growing market, apps flying out of their little digital shopping carts so-to-speak, and those licensed by publishers also tend to have extra polish and features which make them even more attractive. That's why the word about several new releases coming from Asmodee Digital is particularly exciting. The list, announced at Gen Con and cited from their press release, is as follows: Coming very soon: -Ticket to Ride: First Journey (Steam, Mac, iOS & Android) -Carcassonne (Android & Steam) -Smash Up (Steam, iOS & Android) To be released before the end of 2017:Abalone (Steam) - Milles Bornes (Steam, iOS, and Android) -A new text adventure game set in the much-loved Catan universe, called Catan Stories (iOS & Android) Slated for 2018: -Zombicide -Scythe -Terraforming Mars -Bananagrams -Gloom Digital games are wonderful for their ease and convenience. I use them especially as tools to help learn and teach games very effectively, or to preview games before deciding on purchasing the physical version. I especially welcome digital versions of Scythe and Terraforming Mars which will allow a new audience of gamers to experience those games for themselves without having to invest too much into them up-front. If you're interested in learning  about these and future app releases, be sure to visit Asmodee's website and social media pages for more information.
