I missed the KS for it. Version 2 has shipped out for iThings and they say they're working on the other versions now.

What are your favorite video game versions of board games? Ticket to Ride? Catan? Pandemic?

Three projects you may be interested in backing (or just looking at :):
-- Obduction by Cian, Inc., on Kickstarter. This is the latest opus of the Myst series. For Windows and Mac. There is no demo and they're asking for a lot of money (well not so much compared to the kind of budget they used to have) and the smallest pledge allowing to get a copy of the game is $25. The campaign ends on Nov 16, though so if you're on the fence about this one you still have time.
-- Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim by by Ascension Games on Kickstarter too. Shamelessly and hugely inspired by Zelda Wind-Waker. For Windows, Mac and Linux. You can download the demo. Smallest pledge for a copy is $10. The campaign ends on Oct 26 so they may not make it. They did make it! Awesome!
-- Secrets of Raetikon by Broken Rules on Indiegogo. This is an exploration game in what looks like a quite colorful and original universe. You get access to the alpha if you back the project and I think you also get a free copy of their first game, And Yet it Moves, which was really good. I got one although I'd already bought the game when it came out so... The campaign ends on November 22. Smallest pledge is $10 and you don't get a refund if the campaign doesn't meet its end goal.

Edit:
Forgot Treasure Adventure World by Robit Studios, an open-world platform game for Windows, which you can pre-order for $10. They're doing this on their own without going through KS or Indiegogo.

Links to two other projects which were mentioned on Rock, Paper, Shotgun:

Nelly Cootalot, currently needing more money. You can back it up on KS as well as download the first game to give you an idea of what this could be.

The Realm, sadly not having gotten all the money they needed through KS. However, there's a mailing list you can subscribe to and a Steam workshop you can leave nice comments on as they seem to want to launch a second KS some time later.

For other interesting projects in different genres, see the katchup tag on RPS.

but do you have anything else to recommend?

FEZ up for preorder on Steam and GOG. The game is out on May 1. If you're interested, hurry up. :)
