when you click on an invite it accepts, you can then reject if you want. you can also start a game before everyone's gotten there if you want. hit gear and pause to see all your ongoing games. "pause" doesn't really pause anything, just takes you to your game menu.
 
I've played almost exclusively 5 player AI games. I'm not used to seeing player scores go above about 50. My first 2 player and we're both over 100 is throwing me off a bit. :)

Five-player games are hilarious. They are like 99% luck but can be a lot of fun. My personal favorite is four.

typically beautiful 5p city from a game just now

And my naive eyes look at that and say, "yep, that's all we know.". I've always just taken it to be that the games are frazzled messes.

My game against Jabe that just ended was my first completed with only 2 people.

But there are also lots of 5 player games where the board has been clean. This game is just an utter mess! :lol

Playing online two player has programmed me to play to block and creep on other castles when I can.

Someone posted this article over at BGG. The dev states:
"“We've made good progress with the first expansions. Right now we're finishing up our Game Center Update - due in a few weeks - that will make it easier to play against your friends and find new ones. It will also add achievements and more highscore lists. After that we'll work on getting the first expansion polished and make sure it plays well.”
“We'll try to follow the original release order of the board game extensions and plan to include expansions if they work on the platform (including some or all of the mini-expansions)."

No word on any release date but at least it's an update.

damn, sounds really exciting.

i could play the base game on iOS forever (and i have been), but the expansions are going to add some fantastic twists to our games

Hella excited.

Think it'll be free?


Not a chance. Hopefully it is reasonable though. I would guess .99 for the River expansions and 2-5 for more substantial ones. It will suck how it fragments everybody though.

The Gamecenter addition will be awesome though.

hmm i really can't see them charging that much. honestly wouldn't be totally surprised if they were free. i mean the game has always been $10 which is a fair price, and this would be a nice way to draw in new people. guess we'll see

From their store page:

What about Expansions?

The app includes the base tile set, but we are working on expansions as in-app purchases

Hail to the KING baby
ah ok.

the GC support will definitely attract lots of new players. i remember people in the iOS thread a year ago saying they were waiting on GC support.

as to the expansions, i hope they are $1-2. i mean i'd pay more but i don't think the gaf playerbase (which is what i care about) would be big enough at a much higher price

Awesome news.
I dunno, I think a lot of the GAF Carc. regulars will end up buying these.
Christ, it feels like I'm playing this 24/7 as it is :)

Well Day One for my wife, me, and our friends here. I'll be thrilled even just to get Farmers & Builders or Inns & Cathedrals. But also to try out some of the goofier expansions that I haven't busted out in tabletop yet. Wonder what the release schedule will be.

Yeah good game, Astrolad and Roosters. I thought my unopposed farmer would get me through, to no avail, but it was a good tight game regardless.

I'm really considering trying this. How long will it take me to learn? And will you guys play with me?
It is one of the easiest euro games to learn. Not sure how the tutorial is, but there are tons of videos online that will teach you.

So psyched for GC and expansions, my iPad has basically become my Carc machine. Been in a lot of great games lately, lets keep it up!

Yeah I am really enjoying this Carc renaissance. Knowing how fun GAF games are, and how great several of the expansions are, I'm really excited for those.

So glad to have my iPad back in my hands, Had a few games that looked stuck but seem to be moving right along. Weird.

not hard at all. the game is a classic euro in that it is easy to learn and presents very little barrier to entry. has depth to strategy but also enough flexibility to make it so that new players can easily compete with veterans once they've learned the basic rules and tiles (basically a handful of games in).
