I am very happy to play Far Horizons for free. But I am very tentative about picking which position to play in Hyborian Wars -- $5, $7, or $9 a turn. Yikes! It would be worth it if this game is all its cracked up to be, but as a newbie I don't know that, do I?
I can tell you this. I've played tons of Mafia Wars for free. I've played lots of Hyborean war for the above.
I would much, MUCH rather play Hyborean War. It's presentation and method of play captured my imagination of a world brought to life far more than Mafia Wars did.
And that is ultimately how a game, any game, succeeds with me. Does it engage my imagination and take on a life of it's own in my mind?
MW got lots of play out of me, but never captured me in that way.
