Mojang will lower the cost of Scrolls to adjust for tablet pricing.

Mojang announced late last week that its collectible card game, Scrolls, will be lowered in price from $21 to $5. The change comes about due to the upcoming tablet release of the game.

"Our current price of $21 isn’t feasible for tablets. As you probably already know, games are cheap on those things. Free-to-play would be an option, but we’re not keen on the way that that form of monetisation can affect gameplay."

This fall the price change will take effect:

• The price will be lowered to $5 or equivalent in your currency
• Existing users will be given the $20 shard package at no additional cost
• There will be full cross-platform play; your collection will be consistent across platforms

Scrolls beta is currently available for the PC and Mac, and will officially release on tablet, PC and Mac this autumn.
