Details here.

I can vouch for this, I got a chance to test the game on my kindle and the 7" screen really elevates this game.

Isn't Kindle for reading books?

Originally yes, but it's developed into a full-fledged tablet range running a custom version of Android, built mainly around Amazon's apps/app store.

It's a game that's designed specifically with tablets/phones in mind for interface and gameplay. I don't think it'd be a particularly great game on the PC - it's designed to be relatively simple and fun for short sessions, not for long immersive play that you'd expect on the PC. I think it's much better where it is - no reason to invite comparisons that wouldn't be in its favour. It's the same as trying to take a board game or a card game and put it on the PC - it might be a lot of fun at the table with friends, but not so much on the PC, where you'd probably expect more of a simulation and complain that it doesn't compare well to what you know.

And money-wise, hardly a big scheme where it costs pennies compared to either PC or board games.

I wish this game had multiplayer

It has: If you have a mate around, you can play head to head on the same phone through the single battle mode.
