Playdek's deck-building scrapper Summoner Wars is free on the App Store right now

At the start of the week, we posted a feature about five iOS and Android boardgames that are perfect for newcomers to sink their teeth into.

At the top of that list sat Summoner Wars.

Well, you can now grab Playdek's Silver Award-winning card battler for nothing at all, meaning there's never been a better time to give this strategic scrapper a go.

You'll get the game and one deck of cards for free, by the way. So, you've got more than enough content there to find out if you're the sort of person who's going to get horribly addicted to this mix of deck builder and strategic scrapper.

You can buy extra decks - containing different factions from which you can pick - as IAPs once you've got to grips with how the game works.

At review, we gave Summoner Wars a Silver Award, calling it "a complex, but accessible, card-based strategy game that combines elements of Magic: The Gathering with Risk and Stratego."

If that sounds like it's up your street, you can grab Summoner Wars from the App Store for nothing right now.
