Berlin developer Digidiced almost finished with production of digital version of award winning hardcore strategy boardgame Terra Mystica
Popular strategy board game Terra Mystica is set to see a digital version released for iOS and Android. German game developers DIGIDICED, specialized in bringing complex board games to the mobile space, have focused on being very faithful to the original game. Terra Mystica for mobile retains the complete original gameplay and adds extras such as asynchronous cross-platform multiplayer games, worldwide ranking, chat, the new official map Loomlakes, the latest version of the game rules (including adjusted victory points) and a very able AI to fill in for players leaving the game.
Terra Mystica takes players to a fantastic world where up to 14 different races with specific skills and properties try to expand their territories and become the most powerful fraction. Every race is bound to a certain terrain. So, players have to transform given map areas into their preferred terrain in order to create a coherent domain to be supplied with dwellings, trading houses, fortresses, temples and bridges. A smart management of workers, money, priests and power is as vital for players as invoking one of the four cults fire, earth, water and air.
As a board game Terra Mystica reached broad popularity with audiences worldwide through its complexity and varied strategic options for players to select (rank 4 of all games rated on boardgamegeek.com). A wealth of interaction options with others force players into picking the right balance of cooperation and confrontation.
