Lex Friedman keeps Strategery alive ↦
A new, but familiar, Strategery. Strategery was always one of our very favorite games in the early days of iOS. And by “we,” I mean large portions of the staff at Macworld, including both myself and Lex Friedman.…
Lex Friedman breathed new life into the beloved iOS game Strategery, ensuring its continued existence in the ever-evolving world of mobile apps. Originally a favorite among Macworld staff, Strategery was a modern take on the classic strategy board game Risk, offering a more streamlined and intuitive gaming experience. However, with the recent release of iOS 27, the original Strategery app became incompatible, prompting Lex to take action.
Determined to maintain the essence of Strategery, Lex reached out to the original developers, Sumul and Courtland, expressing his admiration for the game and his desire to keep it alive. After several delightful conversations, Lex struck a deal with the developers, allowing him to take over the project and bring Strategery back to life.
The newly revived Strategery retains the core gameplay that made the original so enjoyable, while also incorporating new features and improvements. Lex has worked closely with the original developers to restore some of the beloved elements that had been missed in the transition. Existing Strategery users will receive the updated version as a free upgrade, while new players can purchase it for $5.
This heartwarming story showcases the power of community and the importance of preserving beloved software. Thanks to Lex Friedman's efforts, Strategery will continue to thrive, offering gamers a chance to relive the nostalgia of the classic Risk-inspired game while enjoying enhanced features and gameplay.
