Art and layout by Nik Daum. http://www.nikdaum.com/ Praise for Morocco on the iPhone: "A simple, no-frills version of Othello, and I mean that in a good way. ... There's no reason to even play any other Othello-type games available." "Simple, streamlined, nice interface. One of my all-time favorite iPhone apps!" "Dangerous when I'm in bed, because I'll play it to 20percent battery and hopefully I'll remember to plug in and charge. Yep, it's THAT addictive."
