YESSSSSS! Woot!

Owen, you godless heathen, no Formula De in your gaming background? For shame! A timeless classic.

This game should play well asynchronously. It's very much an Igo-Hugo affair.

@TheDukester 's reaction is a good enough confirmation of awesome incoming for me.

10-player asynchronous sounds like it is going to be the wildcard, but this sounds like it could be really fun for a small tight knit community focused on strategy and board game adaptations for the mobile platform. *wink, wink*

Hmm.. Wherever could we find such a community?

@TheDukester, clearly @Owen needs to be vetted more closely. I demand public hearings.

Owen

@TheDukester getting excited is alien and weird. I'm a little frightened.

@The_Spiel, I am a born nerd and can produce a birth certificate to prove it. :)

Any word on AI? That is a big buy or not factor.

You beat me to it. I got so excited about seeing an FD-type coming up that I forgot to ask some of the basics.

Here's hoping there's some AI. That would really help.

Owen

No AI, say the devs - multiplayer only.

No AI in Disc Drivin' and it's never been a problem for me. I've been hoping for Formula De ever since I saw that Bolide clone. This looks pretty good. Also looks like the dev took the actual Formula D boards and photoshop-effected them. Make of that what you will.

Formula Feud won't be released: http://goo.gl/ndiYv

In other news, once they're done paying their lawyers, Asmodee has promised to get right on that Formula De app. Should be out by at least 2019.

Owen

I was literally just emailing Gabe Alvaro about that. News post incoming!

I don't know why they don't just make a deal with the guys who already made the app which is basically ready to sell. Change it to Formula De and get money together.Disappointing...
