It's time to have a long hard look at some of the interesting bits of news from this week in mobile board gaming. We've got new releases, we've got sales, and we've got updates.

And because we love you, we've got links to everything so you can grab it all from the App Store and have a lovely old time without going too far from Pocket Gamer.

If you've spotted anything you think your fellow mobile board game-ists needs to know, then give everyone the heads-up in the comments at the bottom of the article.

New releases

There are a couple of big releases this week, from very different ends of board gaming spectrum.

First we've got Bottom of the 9th. It's a dice-rolling version of baseball that sees you creating your own team of grown-up-rounders superstars. You can buy it here for £4.99 / $4.99.

Then there's Tunnels and Trolls Adventures. It's a decidedly old school experience based on a famous pen and paper RPG system. It features scenarios designed by some RPG legends, and you can grab it right now for free by clicking here.

Intriguing looking solo deck builder Frost has had some new content stuck into it. And apparently it's the last chunk of new stuff the game is going to get. There's a whole new story called The Author to play, as well as much, much more. Check it out here.

Another digital-only CCG has had an update too. It's called Eternal Card Game, and it's a mix of swords and sorcery and gunslinging that takes its cues from Hearthstone.

The new update has added Founders Packs into the store for a limited time, as well as bringing 80 new puzzles into the fray. Cool. Check it out by clicking right here.

Hunted Cow's Ancient Battle: Rome is on sale for just 99p / 99c (hey, click here to get it). It's a massive tactical battler based on the HexWar system. So get ready for deep strategic warfare as well as giant war elephants.

And then there's Deus Ex GO. It's one of those games that's sort of not quite a board game, but it's based on GO, and that's definitely a board game.

A distillation of the Deus Ex series that works perfectly on mobile. You're going to love this one. Grab it right now for just £1.99 / $1.99 by clicking here.

To wrap things up this week, gore-splattered dice-rolling horror show Zombies!!! has also had its price cut to just 99p / 99c. Click here to grab that.
