Currently all files are from 2021.

However I have not had time to check whether they inlclude any new wording.
But it is always a good idea to be up to date.

Discuss the specific rulebooks/rules in the respective game category, please.

@ampdrive Awesome, thanks a lot!

Starting with my own answer:

I will “maybe” recommend the online game.

Why maybe? While I don’t care much for example about graphics, sounds and cosmetics or the felt “randomness of dice results” I really do care about rules compliance. As other topics in this forum category indicate the game is somehow leaving the original idea of being as rules compliant as possible.

So in order to recommend the game, to me it needs

either some rework to go back to full rules compliance
or a clear statement, that the online game is not a 1:1 adaption of the OOB/LHTR game but a variant instead - ideally expressed by a dedicated rulebook or at least a fact-sheet that clearly points out all the differences from the boardgame.

To me the online version could be an ideal way to create enthusiasm for the boardgames. But when coming to play the boardgames, online players will need to learn and accept the differences. That is somehow counterproductive, IMHO.

Concerning the tablet version I would definitely buy it. We do not have any serious implementation of an A&A game, however it might be called.

See you in the game!

just like the shlock market, everyone who got word of the reprint tried to sell for the old market price of $300 right before the re-release.

Welcome back, Larry!

@CrazyIvan My speculation is that the more the game sells the more likely the possibilities for the future. Mac Store? Windows Store? Why not? (Again, pure speculation about the long term).

That is cool, thank you,
