Lex Friedman Brings Back Strategery

I first recommended Strategery back in May 2009 , including a link to Friedman’s review at Macworld . I described it thus: Strategery is a beautiful $2 Risk-like strategy game for the iPhone. Lots of fun and the gameplay has a great feel. Still lots of fun and still has a great feel. It now costs $5 , but, if you’re an existing user — even if you only paid $2 back when I told you to 17 years ago…

Daring Fireball's Lex Friedman has returned with an updated version of Strategery, the popular iPhone strategy game. Initially launched in May 2009, the game was described as a beautiful Risk-like experience that remains enjoyable even with its recent price increase to $5. Now, existing users can enjoy a free update, making it a win-win situation.

The story takes a positive turn when Friedman reached out to the original developers, who were happy to collaborate, ensuring the game's compatibility with iOS 27 and adding multiplayer support. Friedman's initiative highlights the power of reaching out and fostering collaboration in the tech community.
