Yes, my daily app store search for the game was just rewarded. It is installed and awaiting play.

This is my most favorite of board games, and the only game that has rivaled Eclipse in number of plays this year.

On the topic of Eclipse.

We experienced our first ever completely unbalanced game of Eclipse this weekend. One of the players took the "Descendants" race, and while everyone had played before, no one had ever chosen this race before. Before this player's first turn, a couple of people placed inner ring hexes with aliens. He ended up occupying the galactic center and the two inner ring hexes across the board on the first turn. He used ALL of his actions in the first turn and completely uncovered ALL of his economic production boxes the first turn. It was over almost before we started playing.

So the descendants power was disrespected, but no more. They will also no longer the get free pass from other players that they got this game.
