Support NeoGAF

[tetrisgrammaton]

whoa didn't realize this happened. and here i was looking for someone to play Fortune Street with.

will bite in a while. not really feeling up for spending money at the second.

 

[Gaspode_T]

45 games wow, I need to get some more started but I always feel bad about only making moves at night - sorry I work at MSFT it would kind of be a bad career move to get a iPhone instead of WP7 for my personal phone LOL (but seriously lots of people have iPhones believe it or not, we aren't forced...just I happen to have some sort of interest in making future of WP not suck)

 

[bigwinnerx]

I keep my iPad at work and make moves every once in a while. Home is 2 kids under 5 and work is good but not stressful. Keeps me sane.

 

[roosters93]

Just finished my first game with the new tiles. Shocking to see those high scores!

Haven't yet figured out the best way to use the double follower. And some of the new tiles are wild (the 4 half-circles one in particular).

Also the amount of ways to screw people you're playing has gone up dramatically with the Inns and Cathedrals cards.

Having fun though. I have about 45 active games at the moment, probably 15 have the new tiles.

They're not all GAF games surely

 

[bigwinnerx]

No, you're right, 4 or 5 are family.

 

[Vard]

Caved and finally bought the game. Friend me if you like, my GC account is:

[sikkinixx]

has this game EVER gone on sale? Every time I look at buying it I think "bah, it will probably go on sale for $1 the day after I buy it" and never do...

Nope.

 

[AstroLad]

Nein! They have stuck by their guns unlike the EAs of the world. And good on them because Carcassonne is better than 99.9% of the crap out there that is a "steal" for free or $1 or whatever.

 

[Gatekeeper]

Changed my game center nick to Z3R0_5UM, hope to get expansions soonish

Agreed, I've spent more time playing this than everything else combined, even the Kairosoft titles.

Also, if anyone wants to change what name shows up in GameCenter (ex. change your real name to your GC/user/GAF/whatever name), follow these steps:

• Open Game Center
• On the "Me" screen, click on your Account on the bottom of the page
• View Account (enter password)
• Scroll down to the "Game Center Identity" section (at the very bottom)
• Tap "Edit Account Info" "Apple ID" -->
• Here your First and Last Name appears, along with your Apple ID and PW. Simply change your First Name and Last Name to whatever you want. Note: This does NOT impact your Apple ID name at all. This is just for the Game Center name that appears on friends' lists.
• Make sure to tap "Done" in the top-right (will have to do this twice), and you're finished!

 

[Darkflight]

I have both expansions if you want to edit my entry

 

[blahness]

I have both expansions as well. I havent ever played the expansions so I might be an easy win :\

 

[Gaspode_T]

Interesting post on Boardgamegeek
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/6535/ios-board-games-2011-gift-guide

Are the Knizia games set up like Carc (async)?

I remember always hearing that Puerto Rico has a huge learning curve, the Reiner Knizia games were all on sale a while back but I didn't hear many of you talking about them here so I passed...I still see many of you are playing Ascencion though

 

[Beer Monkey]

I have both expansions and am always looking for games.

I've played several of you before.

My Game Center account is 'beer m0nkey'. That's with a zero, not an 'oh', in m0nkey.

 

[schnell]

It bugs me that the rules for the river are wrong. The player that places the final river piece should be able to place the volcano piece and then immediately draw and place a second piece, per the rules. Here's a link to the rules: PDF link

 

[Grifter]

thank tebow the expansions came when they did. having all these games going is cutting through my misery time at the in-laws'. it's a carcmas miracle!

I have imother-n-law coming and invading my own home, so you can imagine how much I am glued to either the Vita or the iPad

Still making the mistake of making Carc moves right when I wake up in the morning or when super tired in middle of the night, I think I made yet another move thinking I was a diff color the other day

 

[bigwinnerx]

Hadn't looked at my ELO in a while. Goodness! Dropped like a rock.

Have inlaws at my house as well, though they're here for the kids. Been getting some quiet time and sneaking in some carc games.

 

[Gamecocks625]

I'm in. Now time to learn the rules. Feel free to add me on GC

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Does this game ever drop in price?

EDIT: Saw the above, damn. Do you guys still consistently play this, and would you recommend it? I just got a crapton of Apple cash so I am looking to get some great iOS games.

yes and absolutely

i've been on holiday so no turns, be back on turns wednesday

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Just bought it

[POWERSPHERE]

Just got both expansions and I'm up for games!!!

 

[Gamecocks625]

Will do. When you get a chance feel free to add me to the op. GC name is my gaf name.

I already went through the tutorial. I can see this is going to be an awesome multiplayer game.

 

[randomwab]

Played my first online game with the expansions, and I'm loving how they rework several aspects of the game, mainly how important the beginning and river placements are for the long term game.

Anyway, I'm up for games. Randomwab on Gamecenter, and as I said, I have both expansions. I think I'm already on the list up above so if it could be updated to say I have the expansions now, I'd be grateful.

 

[AstroLad]

Just bought it

you can definitely add everyone that's posted the last few pages

 

[Gatekeeper]

I lurk far too much for my own good, but I am always good for a game. Z3R0_5UM

I have both expansions now also.

 

[Jonnyram]

Man, I literally hate cathedrals right now. They make the game way too explosive.
I hope people are gonna still enjoy expansion-free games in the future. Cathedrals are so much heartache lol

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

I can't even beat the computer on easy mode, haha. Hopefully things will get better...

 

[pilonv1]

That game we finished before was about 50pts difference, and that Cathederal castle was 42 or something. Would have been a close game without it. The risk/reward doesn't feel even.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

GC usernames are not case sensitive are they?

I am adding everyone from the last two pages, btw. GC name is the game as on here

 

[Grifter]

Cathedral are those double-or-nothing tiles? There's 2 of those, right?

What are inns again? I have the board game to check but I'm not home ATM.

Did I&C introduce the 6th player, or was it T&B?

The Inns work as double or nothing for roads (2pts per tile if finished). The Cathedrals add 1 pt per tile/pennant (ie 3pts per tile if finished), and makes the city worth nothing if left incomplete (and yes there are 2 of these tiles, I seem to use them more to make other cities worthless.

After playing Carcassonne so much again (both iOS and the physical board game), I want more expansions! T&B would be nice...

 

[Kryptonic]

I have both expansions, feel free to update me on the list.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Astro and lolduke, I couldn't join because I don't have the expansion packs yet. I assume that's the reason why it wouldn't let me accept the invite to join the game. #carcnewb

 

[deim0s]

Add me up on the list. Newbie here to the game as well. Will buy the expansions later when I actually win against the AI. :/

GC: deim0s_

 

[DukeSucks]

Astro and lolduke, I couldn't join because I don't have the expansion packs yet. I assume that's the reason why it wouldn't let me accept the invite to join the game. #carcnewb

No problem, I just deleted that one and started a new one up without the expansions.

 

[deim0s]

What does ELO rating mean?

 

[Slacker]

What does ELO rating mean?

It's just a method of rating skill relative to other players.

[Chuck (Old)]

Hey guys, Carc noob here. Should I play against the computer until I've got the hang of it before going online?

 

[Slacker]

Hey guys, Carc noob here. Should I play against the computer until I've got the hang of it before going online?

Maybe once or twice. It won't take long.

 

[schnell]

I haven't played an online game yet. If anyone wants to play, I've got the expansions: HobenScoben

 

[Chuck (Old)]

Thanks, Slacker.

I don't have the expansions either. Am I at a disadvantage in online play if I haven't yet purchased the expansions?

schnell, I don't mind playing a round with you, but first I need to figure out how to set up a Game Center account.

 

[Slacker]

Thanks, Slacker.

I don't have the expansions either. Am I at a disadvantage in online play if I haven't yet purchased the expansions?

Nope you can still play without any expansions. They definitely add some depth though so they're well worth the 3 bucks.

I appreciate the info. I think I'll pick 'em up once I've got a good feel for the pre-expansion content.

 

[AstroLad]

yeah i am happy to play games w/ or w/o expansions. i have like 30 going right now but hey

 

[schnell]

Thanks, Slacker.

Haha alright, we can play without fields/farms if you want. And for game center: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/feature.asp?t=how_to&c=23394

 

[Chuck (Old)]

Thanks, all set up!

Edit: So inside of Carc, on the Internet Account screen, do I use my Game Center login or do I create a new one?
