Armello - Interview @ Eurogamer

Eurogamer has a new article style interview with the developers of Armello.

Armello is a digital board game, and it's very much the genuine article. It could function as a physical board game - I gather it would slot into your quiet, thematically-organised stacks somewhere near Mage Knight - but it works so much better digitally. The pieces have life and character: they are no longer just pieces, in fact. The maths, while simple, is all taken care of. The king, though? The king is the real reason everything fits to snugly. The king is not just a tumbler of dice and a series of hasty trips back to the rule book to see how many cards get dealt. The king is a real king here - really mad, and really dangerous. "The question for us during development wasn't whether the game would work, because we've been prototyping it on paper for eight months," says the gloriously named Trent Kusters, the founder of developer League of Geeks. "The question was: can we bring a board game to life?"

That's the question Kusters has had to answer, but what about you? What will you do? Kill the king or cure him? The kingdom is up for grabs, and everyone has a shot at it. But what shot should you take?
