I only have one game left and lament that. It's just nice having games ticking away.

Just realized that I'm all out of games! Still learning, but would like to flesh out my friends list. PM me!
I've been umming and ahhing over buying this for some time (partly due to the $13 entry fee and partly to not knowing if I'd play it enough to warrant that entry fee), but I had a couple quick goes of the XBL trial and was pleasantly intrigued. The strategy behind building your own point score while gazumping your opponents' tickled a particularly cerebral part of me that I like.
So, my question (and I apologise if this has been mentioned elsewhere) is; does the iOS version have a good tutorial, aside from playing CPU opponents on easy? I quiet liked the video hand holding tutorial the XBL version had, and it would be just the trick to convincing my partner we need this game!

So I grabbed it last night.
It's awesome. Goodbye many hour of sleep. Hello 45min long craps on the dunny. The tutorial is indeed handy, and playing teh CPU on simple/easy has been a good learning curve as well. I find winning 2 player AI games achievable against such modest competition, but it's a whole other world of trouble once it become 3 or 4 players. The strategy is immense in this one (should I build a castle tile adjacent to blue player so I can potentially share his town points and work with him, or do I go alone elsewhere? Roads or farms? Aaaargh!)

Haha, yes AusGAF representing! I sent you an email from my almost eponymously named hotmail account.Jonnyram said:A-ha! Sounds like another person in my timezone
You have to invite by email at the moment. I'll PM you mine so you can send me an invite.
So, since my other post, I've had my first win andfirst loss against the CPU. I've been playing mainly 3 player games as their pace feels about right and tiles don't get eaten up so fast.
Trying to find the balance between 'now' points and 'later' (I think of them as infrastructure) points has led to some headaches at the moment!

Damn, guys...gg! That corner tile was of course the last.
Yeah terrific game. I was hoping that corner tile wouldn't fall to either of you guys who were trying to steal my city, but alas, we split the points, and it made the difference in the end.
Great game.

i've started playing carc: hunters & gatherers on yucata.de and it's pretty fun if a bit busy rules-wise compared to the simplicity of vanilla carc. i totally miss the clean elegant iOS interface though even though yucata is great

yes, that game was so close.
I think I have most of you guys, but if I missed anyone, please send me a PM so I can make sure I have everyone that still plays.
Always up for more games. My email is my gafusername@gafusername.com
I guess leaderboards is the closest you'll ever get to that, though it's not ideal, especially when games have multiple leaderboards.rc213 said:
Man, my games have dried up on this lately. Shall we get some more going?
I'm fine with quick or slow, small or large. Just love to play during my dreary days.
