Jamzu 1.3 for the iPhone and iPod touch will be ready in two weeks! The new skins are finished, and just need to finish the graphics redesign and will be ready to go. Very shortly after 1.3 (another week or two) will be 1.31, which will include OpenFeint. Shortly after that will be new Jamzu die-deck variants, move clocks, updated tutorial and help sections, and much more.

Also coming very soon will be Jamzu for the iPad, with all the new skins and OpenFeint as well.

Press Reviews for Jamzu

AppStruck.com ★★★★½

“Strategy-based fun board game that is quick to learn. Great app to play alone or with friends … Many of the options that Jamzu offers ought to be exemplary in all iPhone and iPod Touch board game apps.
