Leading digital board game developer and publisher Nomad Games have today released the official companion app for the Ready Set Bet board game from Alderac Entertainment Group.
Designed by well-known board game designer John D Clair, in Ready Set Bet, players head to the races for a day of cheering, jeering, and betting on their favourite horses, whose fates hang on every roll of the dice. During each race, the dice rolled affect how fast each of the horses will reach the finish line, meaning no two races are the same. The game features support for up to 9 players, and was also released physically on September 30th.
The official companion app designed by Nomad Games takes on the role of the dice roller and announcer, freeing up everyone at the game table to be able to fully enjoy the high-intensity race happening in front of them. The companion app also features different narrators that will provide commentary throughout each race, adding even more of the authentic race track feel to the game.
“When our good friends at AEG originally approached us about Ready Set Bet, we were excited for the opportunity to make our first ever companion app, after many years of adapting board games to the digital space.” said Thomas Young, Marketing Executive at Nomad Games. “We can’t wait to see what players think of our first try, and we’d be very excited to make more companion apps in the future!”
Ready Set Bet is available now, and the official companion app is also now available on Google Play, the App Store and the Nomad Games website for free.
