Impossible will bring the first mobile game coming from Reiner Knizia with a special offer. Players will have the chance of trying it out for free and also competing against other people online.

The "Samurai" mobile game is the result of an adaptation
of Reiner Knizia's board game in order to make it possible to play on handsets. It challenges, above all, the player's intelligence and concentration limits. Its action is set in the Feudal Japan period and asks the player to expand their control over important Japanese social classes, including priests, soldiers, farmers. They can do this by placing spies in several strategic places and then gain control over the area.

The game is suitable for many types of players. It provides the type of challenge that looks to keep them glued to their handsets until they complete the task and prevail in this strategic display of force.

"It has been announced before that we were working on bringing the Knizia Games masterpieces to mobile but up to now we have kept quiet about the strongest feature of these board game conversions. And that is the mobile internet multiplayer feature", said Miklos Csemy, Impossible's COO.

One great feature that the "Samurai" game has to offer is the possibility of playing in multiplayer mode. "It goes without doubt that these games were designed to be played against human opponents and although we have managed to come up with a very strong AI, the game just wouldn't feel right without the ability to challenge your friends!", Miklos Csemy further added.

"Samurai" holds great chances of becoming a successful game especially if considering the huge experience that Reiner Knizia holds in developing such applications. The company has published more than 300 games and books in a large number of countries and in many languages. This has also resulted in gaining many awards for their creativity and deployed efforts.
