Dan Pražák Apple released its own game for iOS. This happened only for the second time in the company's history. The new game title pays tribute in a way to the famous and biggest investor of Apple, Warren Buffett.

But in the case of games, the situation is almost the opposite, and in its entire history, the Californian company only offered Texas Hold'em for iOS on the occasion of the launch of the App Store in 2008, removing the title from the store three years later.
So it was more than unexpected when Apple released the second game in a row a few days ago, the development of which is behind it. Warren Buffett's Paper Wizard is a simple game where your task is to throw a rolled-up newspaper as accurately as possible onto the rafters of a house. At the same time, flying birds, passing cars, street lamp posts and, last but not least, the accelerating pace or the distance between individual houses make it difficult for you to throw. Your journey leads from the city of Omaha to Cupertino, i.e. the homeland of Apple. Finally, everything is rounded off with a visit to Apple Park - Apple's new headquarters.
