Well I ordered it today, but not through the store here (sorry!) because Astraware gave a code for $5 off through their store.

When I ordered it, I did note in the comments section that it was because of a review here that I became aware of it, for whatever that is worth.

Keep the reviews coming and if anyone knows of similar strategy games, please post them.

Well that didn't take long - got an email last night from Astraware that it was released and they incldued a discount code in the email.

Guess I'll Try it first and then Buy it if I like it.

That is clearly a nice feature of this game...you play segments that can be short...if you're good. But even if you are having difficulty, like I had on one of the puzzles, you can stop it and come back to the same place later.
Of course, you can always reset the puzzle and start over if you want...another nice feature!

Looks like the kind of game I enjoy, like Traffic Jam, which I finished the 200th puzzle today on the train ride back home.

Added myself to be notified when it is available.

If anyone knows of other games like this or Traffic Jam, please post them. It's nice to be able to play a couple puzzles when you have time and not have to dedicate a large chunk of time all at once.
