Anybody that follow US podcasts would have heard of the Google game that launched November 2012 on a closed Beta base. One needed an invite to get access to the game.
I did not know that this game was already available in South Africa, but during the first broadcast of Let's Talk Geek for the year ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5ZxUaQttXc ) I was informed that the game is active in South Africa and the community is growing.
One of the followers of Let's Talk Geek (thanks again +Ani Vermeulen ) sent me the an activation code, and I was in.
