Macworld Buying Advice
The game makes good use of the multi-touch interface – you can click on and drag pieces around—but I found that I often had to repeatedly drag pieces to where I wanted them to go to get them to the right place. Sure, I can magnify the board a bit in 3D mode and do it that way, but I found that the graphics in 3D mode looked poor close up—pixilated and chunky, and they didn’t scale at all.
