I have been lucky enough to be one of the beta testers on this app for the past few months. The fun we've had with it is incredible. It's basically a game of Risk and Settlers of Catan played on a real-world map. I urge everybody to give it a try. Even though I'm friends with the devs, I'm not just trying to help them out ... it's actually quite awesome.
In the last two months I've:
- Walked over 1 km from my parking spot just to stand on a street corner for 30 seconds to take over Crowchild and 24th
- Taken my kid for a one hour car ride through the country side just to claim untaken land
- Cheered upon hitting a wall of traffic or a red light
My wife absolutely loves it. She likes to be the navigator and scope out alternate routes to our destinations so we can screw over KTrain and the other players. It's one of those apps that actually changes how you go about your day, and I like that.
ps. I'm a little jealous that I wasn't able to make it into the screenshots on itunes. Swifty is rubbing that in my face quite strongly this morning.
