My board game based on mandavoshka is almost done and if you like to test it via Testflight, please do.

I know, a board game isn’t exactly very exciting but I wanted to do this for ages.
It‘s meant to be played on a tablet with up to four players sitting around the device.
So the controls are rotated to the side of the current player.
You can also select the computer to play for a player, but it doesn’t play very well.
The app icon and the background images are generated by chatgpt because I‘m shit at designing.
It was a real pain in the butt to make chatgpt generate repeatable (tiling) textures.
The app will be free but I added in app purchase to unlock the color picker for each player. It will be the cheapest price of 0.29 €.
I‘m doing it to get experience with iap, not to make money.
You can test the iap for free during the Testflight phase.4 -
A question to those from Slavic countries like Russia:
Do you know this version of the board game Ludo (German: Mensch ärgere dich nicht)?
I did some research and apparently in Russian it’s called Mandavoshka. But I couldn’t find this particular design and the rules seem to be documented nowhere.
Anyway I’m implementing this game for tablets and I'd like to know if this is something that officially exists as a board game or not.1
