... Ah fuck so I resigned out of my game for nothing? Goddamnit :lol. Re-send me invites if the game ended or so
just generally, NEED MORE INVITES GUYS. Racer Feud, Fluxx, Stone Age.Playdek games tend to take a day or two (?) to populate the friends list. Not sure why, but I think it's because they pull from GC and populate only with people who own the game (hallelujah! -- but would be nice if it was instant).

Ahhh ok cool.
Fluxx seems weird as fuck. But could be pretty cool.
Is that battle of the bulge game out yet? Also what is it? Haha.
I'm really digging Stone Age, but I'm finding it more difficult to play asynchronously than most games. It's a game where you really need to keep track of what's going on. Going from game to game takes a little while since I'm having to examine the board for a little bit to remind myself what I was going for. I really wish League Play was back-and-forth like Carcassonne at least.

Lets play some shit then!!
It must just populate based on people who go into the MP option.
nm Fluxx friend lists seem to populate instantly now. just sent out a couple invites.
just by a quick experience with both games looks like a 2/2 week so far in terms of implementations (not a huge fun of the game fluxx itself but a good async implementation can make any game fun)

Yeah, they both seem pretty solid. I haven't played much fluxx at all yet, but it's different at least.
Stone Age is really cool though. It's not quite as good of a game as caylus, but it's implementation seems leagues better. Haha.

Oh snap, the Penny Arcade card game is listed under more games in Fluxx. It goes to the App Store but said it wasn't available in the US now.
Naw, it's still in development. Also by Playdek, that's probably why it's listed there. It'll be a while til release, there's at least Tank on Tank and Agricola coming first, I think.
Believe.
Never played or even heard of Fluxx before Playdek announced the game. Still, I think I'll try Fluxx seeing as how I don't think I'll enjoy Stone Age with all the comparisons to Caylus (which app issues aside, I didn't really like).
JUST GET IOS6 ALREADY YOU LAZY BUM
Im sorry, i cant live without the slide the cursor jailbreak. It is simply magical
The App Store says it only requires 4.3+ to play Fluxx...I'm still waiting for an iPhone 5 jailbreak so I can change my default apps. Especially now with Google Maps out
Fluxx is even simpler than I thought, but seems fun. I'm a big fan of Bang after all. I played a couple quick Fluxx games just against the AI. First game took 3 minutes tops, the second one took over 20.

I am on the Fluxx train myself, and want to play.
Plus, its hilarious that the app was $3 and the physical game is $4 at Target.

What is that? Google only turns up this thread
Because the whole world reads GAF, I'll post my suggestions for the Stone Age devs here, assuming they'll see them and implement them immediately:
1. Already mentioned everywhere, but yeah an undo button would be excellent.
2. I'd love a "Next Game" button when moving from one async game to the next. I know there's not a lot of screen real estate to cram stuff in to, but maybe on the bottom of the menu. Instead of clicking "Multi Games" I'd love to just click "Next Game" at the bottom.
3. The game passes the turn back to a player to confirm that they've fed their workers. When there's no decision to make there (when you have enough farms/food to feed everyone) it'd be great if that step didn't hold up the async process. Players still need to see that when they click back in to the game, obviously. But just let it happen and the game progress, then let the player see that it happened when the join in again.
4. The async seems to work really well, but I'd love to have an option for live games as well. Ascension/Summoner Wars style would be perfect.
Great game, overall though. Really looking forward to the universal update.

...5. When it isn't your turn, you can't (afaik) check your civilisation cards. Which is handy when you are planning your next turn.
Lol I was just coming back to add that. I'd like to be able to click to see my opponents numbers on everything too.

I'm up to trying Fluxx, BamSaidTheLady for GameCenter.
Isn't that pretty much an accurate description of an average game of Fluxx?
lol no idea, my first two games were completely different. Pretty fun if you don't get caught up in winning.
Woooo...please no bugs.
Any word of the Might and Magic: Duel of Champions coming to iOS? its available on PC atm http://www.duelofchampions.com/en/index.html
There is some speculation Playdek will be releasing either Penny Arcades CG or Smash Up next week according to a post Gary made.

Fluxx is fun. Draw 5 & Play All, combined with Jackpot (draw 3) and Let's Do That Again (re-use discarded Action card, aka another Jackpot). Too bad no working combo came out of that
Also had a "play 3" to make it harder for the rest after

Hmmm yeah smiley, I can't send you GameCenter invites for some reason. At first I thought it was just Racer Feud, but now it won't do anything when I pick you in Lost Cities.
Did you get the Fluxx invite with AstroLad? Maybe delete me and send another friend request...so weird.
If you blocked me after I beat you in Racer Feud just tell me...lol

Has anyone played Battle of the Bulge yet? Seems to have excellent reviews so far

I haven't yet, I bought it and then I came to work, and for some reason I didn't bring my iPad. Haha.
People seem to really like it. If anyone wants to play, send me an invite and I will join when I get home.
I started a game of Titan HD with octobot, I haven't had a chance to take a turn yet though. Haha. I hope more of you guys buy it. It's a cool game. I've played a few matches with the AI it's a fun game.
Is it possible to tell who has what expansions? Never seen it so I wonder. Then again most games clearly can't even tell who else even owns the same game.
Nope. I'd almost say it'd have been a better idea to go the TF2 route and charge for cars / customization. Or maybe make it so the ad removal thing is on a per-track basis.
