We’re delighted to announce that the official release date for Dragon Castle™: The Board Game, the digital adaptation of our tabletop game, is coming on Thursday, December 12!
Similo: Myths For Machine Learning
Originally developed by the terrific trio Lorenzo Silva / Hjalmar Hach / Luca Ricci and illustrated by Cinyee Chiu, the game has been converted to the digital format by Studio Clangore, the same development team behind the critically acclaimed digital version of Potion Explosion™.
This new digital app is a faithful recreation of the tabletop experience of Dragon Castle, optimized and adapted for the new digital format. The mahjong tiles, the Shrines, the Spirits, the Dragons, they’re all there.
The app also features different game modes (solo against AI, pass-and-play, and online multiplayer). But that’s not all! Fancy animated graphics, an atmospheric soundtrack, and an interactive tutorial to guide you through all the game features.
To celebrate the upcoming launch of Dragon Castle: The Board Game, we even started a contest! Join this competition for a chance to win one of 10 Steam codes to download Dragon Castle™: The Board Game on your PC or Mac device for free as soon as the app is released!
The wait is almost over! Dragon Castle™: The Board Game will be available on iOS, Android, and Steam on December 12… save the date (and/or add the game to your Steam Wishlist to be notifed upon release)!
