So much so that it now sits proudly as one of our sister website\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2IKseNt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">favourite board games on PC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=92a3TUwPBgc?controls=0]<\/p>\n<p>Today we have even more good news \u2013 you can beta test the game\u2019s mobile version on iOS and Android!
