The Manhattan Project is, apparently, an excellent boardgame. I don't know for sure. It's not really my scene.
Everything I read online tells me that's the case, though.
What I do know is that this conversion isn't a particularly great iOS game.

Medieval city-building RPG World of Kingdoms 2 is available for free now on the App Store.
In World of Kingdoms 2, you take control of your very own medieval empire, with over 90 buildings to keep your kingdom populated, and 40 military units to keep it well-protected.
Take on the world's nine missions, endless quests, or fight against others with the game's card-based battle system.

Nival, the developers behind the Bronze Award-winning tower defense Prime World: Defenders, will release their latest strategy game, Etherlords, on September 4th.
Etherlords is an isometric strategy game inspired in part by the board game Carcassone, and based on Nival's early PC game of the same name.
In the game, you play a god-like being called an Etherlord, with the power to build worlds...
Bik is going to divide its audience. Some will be overjoyed with the pixel-art graphics and the retro vibe that pulses through the game.
Others are going to find the whole thing a little too much to stomach. This is a game with both feet staunchly planted in the past, and it doesn't care how many friends it loses along the way.
That means that sometimes you're stumbling with cumbersome contr...
Machineers is a game for technicians.
Rather than create a nice, familiar match-three puzzler to give the average Candy Crush Saga fan something new to smear their thumb against, developer Lohika Games has built a game filled with gears, pistons, pulleys, and levers, all of which must be arranged and assembled perfectly if you want to get anywhere.
As you can see from our video, you play...
If I ask you to think of a war game, you'll probably picture yourself staring down the sights of a semi-automatic rifle squeezing off round after round into waves of comically villainous enemy troops.
Take a look at Ubisoft's upcoming iOS port of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, however, and you'll see a far timate - and often troubling - portrait of combat.
As we discovered when we...
Fallin Love is a puzzle platformer about the never-ending chase to please someone you love. It follows a cube called Fall who needs to change his appearance to match his lover's desire.
At first Kaisa (the woman Fall loves) likes moustaches, but by the time Fall gets one she's looking for an astronaut. And so it goes.
This translates into maze-like 2D levels filled with hearts and "disguise...
Stories and video games have gone hand-in-hand since Jumpman saved his girlfriend from a giant monkey.
Sometimes, games prove to be brilliant storytellers. Other times, following a story alongside a game is like trying to assemble a model while someone screams in your ear.
Light Apprentice from Bulkypix uses a unique engine for delivering its story. Players participate in an interactive com...
Hunted Cow's next installment in its strategy series Ancient Battle: Hannibal is storming over the release day hills tonight.
Hannibal is considered one of history's greatest military commanders, and certainly Rome's biggest nemesis.
The challenge, then, is for you to command his armies as well as he did during the second Punic War between Carthage and Rome.
To answer some important quest...
Dot Warrior Games must know that I wouldn't be able to resist Wan Nyan Slash. Cats and dogs dressed up as samurai is just too cute.
Mind you, I wouldn't want to mess with any of them. Wan Nyan Slash follows the titular pair as they slice their way through an endless stream of demons.
You draw lines out from your two samurai, which they then follow with their blades, slicing up anything in th...
Yakuto has decided to remove all in-app purchases from the Gold Award-winning Table Tennis Touch. You don't even have time to say goodbye - they're gone.
An update was rolled out for the game last night that added 10 new achievements, some bug fixes, and other small improvements.
But it also completely abolished the game's IAPs to become a "fully premium experience".
"Table Tennis Touch ...
Every now and then, you load up a game and instantly know you're in good hands.
You can quickly see that the team responsible not only 'gets it', having devised something pretty special, but has also executed their superb ideas nearly flawlessly. Size DOES Matter is one of these rare gems.
A fast-paced music-based action game with looks that evoke a heady blend of Lumines, Super Hexagon, and...
Ace Ferrara and the Dino Menace is a 3D space shooter with a sense of humour that's just crashed into the New Zealand App Store. It should be doing something similar in the UK at midnight tonight.
The game sees you playing Ace, swooping through missions that involve shooting spaceships piloted by dinosaurs out of the sky. Obviously.
Everything takes place on a flat plain, so you don't ha...
Spooklands is a good looking one-finger blaster that's just hit the New Zealand App Store. By our calculations that means it should be winging its way to the UK at midnight tonight.
The game sees you controlling a plucky hero who's beset on all sides by vile creatures. There are giant spiders, monstrous frogs, and plenty of deadly shadows.
You tap to fire whatever weapon you've got equip...
It's the moment we've all been waiting for. Dong Nguyen's Flappy Bird sequel has just hit the App Store in New Zealand. That means Swing Copters will be swinging into the UK at midnight tonight.
Rather than being a flapping bird, this game sees you playing a swinging copter. I guess. By the looks of things you tap to fly upwards, dodging big hammers as you go. It's a modern fable.
It's f...
Tilt-shifted Formula 1 strategy game Motorsport Manager has just landed on the New Zealand App Store, which means it'll be speeding into pit-stop UK at midnight tonight. Which is very good news.
We've already had our oil-stained mitts on the game, and we liked what we saw. It's got the addictive compulsion of a Kairosoft sim, but with a whole bunch of extra twists, and some really impressiv...
Deep Under the Sky has just landed on the New Zealand App Store. That means it should be swirling its way to the UK at midnight tonight.
The game is a psychedelic exploration game that sees you taking control of an alien jellyfish that's intent on keeping its species alive.
That involves flying around 80 levels across four different worlds, fertilising your friends and attacking your foe...
X-Tactics is an upcoming tactical RPG with a development team that includes alumni from Sega, Square, and Capcom, and it's currently searching for funding through an Indiegogo campaign.
I say searching, it's already hit its funding target and two of its stretch goals and there are still 27 days to run on the campaign. Right now it's sitting at just over $15,000. If it reaches $50,000 it'll ...
Silver Award-winning action RPG Echo Prime has had its price cut down to just 69p / 99c on the App Store. It's only the second price cut the game has had since it was released in October last year.
The game sees you stomping through a randomly generated campaign, swiping and tapping on the screen to slash up enemies.
There's a massive range of equipment to customise your character with, ...
BeaverTap Games has just released a new trailer for the third entry in the Mikey series, Mikey Boots. And it looks a good deal flappier than the previous two instalments. Not that that's a bad thing, mind.
This time around Mikey is propelled through the levels automatically and you push on the left side of the screen to rise to the left, and the right to rise to the right. Letting go sees y...
