Does MF even go to BGG?
Jonah42 mentioned BGG in one of his posts in the MF forums. So, maybe.
MF reply to the online requirement in the app store.
Unfortunately, a game with this much card logic needs to rely on a server connection.
That's so stupid!
it's frustrating how they feed us this nonsense that anyone with experience in game development can tell you is a lie instead of just telling us like it is.
Sadly, it's a common phrase for online requirements since some years.
A popular example is EA's SimSity2013. They said, the servers would have to compute all the individual sims one by one what no PC could handle. Investigations by some hackers (I guess) showed that all of this was a lie, the servers did nearly nothing and the sims took always the shortest way from work to the next house. They never came back home after their first day at work LoL!
