Here it is for the lazy: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/daysofwonder/small-world-2?ref=search
Small World has never clicked for me, but I'll keep an eye on this. Sure won't be donating though.
Hmm, been wanting to try this but no async turned me off. Not sure if I'll fund, but I hope it makes it.
edit: threw in $30 anyway. Why not.
Well, Codito's release is dead. It's been taken over by a mystery dev for release this year. Playdek please?
It's nice having a dev put out board games for iOS and all, but I feel like Codito does just enough to skirt by with barely passable implementation. It's like all the licenses they're in charge of are doomed for digital jankiness and mediocrity.
Working now, race started!

Yeah. The gorilla is awesome too. If you get hits on both of your dice, he gets to attack again. It's pretty awesome when they cost so little to play and then can do 4 damage in one turn.

Damnit Tim! If you get the killing blow in SW dont send the rematch! Loser sends rematch!
I hate seeing that its my turn, and then looking beside it to see an invite to another match, haha. Ruins the surprise of death! haha

Some people never reinvite. Hard to know when to initiate, but will keep that in mind for you.

Now just stop beating me with the Jungle Elves!
I wonder what the counter for them is when you play FK. I have to change how I play completely since in one turn the JE can get people all the way across the map it seems. I usually just have a strategic defence rather than a complete block off of dudes.
edit:
I don't usually send rematches but happy to play any game any time.
If I lose, and want to play again I will usually send an invite. If I win, I never send invites, unless its vs my few friends who I play lots of board games with.

Wtf man! Both are great games! Lots of skill involved with them!
Skeleton Archers helps verus the Jungle Elves but its a hard match. Play me as JE and I'll play FK.
Plus we haven't played in awhile since I took a break from the game. I'm trying to slowly get back into it. I made tons of mistakes in my matches so far, including my game with Astrolad currently.

I dont really know how to play anything other than FK though. The deck I use for FK probably isnt even that good, I just like the diversity of it. SW is almost TOOOOOO deep for me to be playing on iOS, haha.
Whats a good JE deck? Once I have that built, I will send you a match.
This is what I use, but JE is like my 3rd favorite deck so I don't play it as much.

Ok cool.
I like all your lions Tim!

have to pay .99 for the courage IAP

Haha.
Im gonna roll with Hereafter's deck for this learning JE vs FK match. But I usually dont roll with so many Mercs, so in our next Tim, I will use your JE deck, or something similar though I will probably slot in a Elephant or two, cause they are fun! I kinda wanna try having all these lions though, haha.
Haha yeah kamikaze all the way. Nice job!
Is the series best out of three?
@Smiley I'm sending you an invite too so we can finish this toirney ASAP.

WTHHHH I beat Astro at PA!!
No idea how. They really need to do a better (or any) job of telling you how many star points you have.

They won't. Keeping track of the points is part of the game; see Ascension.

Ascension shows your star points.
But not your card points, so you're still missing half of the calculation.
Edit: At least with PA you can look at your deck and total your points, I think you can even do the same with your opponent by looking at the logs.
I really wish they'd just tally it for us on async games. Hard to keep track when you have 10 games going, some of which last weeks.
Haven't played SW in forever, but I'll play the tourney game
Been preoccupied with puzzle&dragons like crazy... the only game that gets some playtime side from that atm is CarcassonneBenjaminBirdie

Tap the green card that represents your deck. Brings a decklist on screen for you. If you want to know your total, I meant it in the sense you would have to add each card up individually using the known point values of each card.

What point value?? The stars? The tokens? The power?
RaySpencer

The stars yeah, in the bottom left corner of the Boss cards, and the red cards.
Just wanted to give a quick shoutout to eznark and I think it was Powersphere, whom I played a game of Carcassonne with recently, over the busy xmas period.
Always a joy to get a random Carcassonne game request from the GAF community, as otherwise I don't play it too much anymore. Same goes for Ticket To Ride Been neglecting iOS boardgames lately.

Sorry to Tim and Eznark, I quit out on our Battle of the Bulge games.
Not a fan of the game mechanics at all.

No worries, I get where you're coming from.

Its just so random! and you get so little input into what happens! Drives me crazy!
fuck does it work well and look nice though, haha.
Having fun with Ascension and Penny Arcade. Tried Elder Sign and Forbidden Isle; the former I just don't get, seems obstinately hard with little payoff. Forbidden seems fun but seems to me replay value falls off a cliff unless you're with friends.
Also, Astrolad, I insist you turn off your wallhack in Ascension.

I will never know now! since I killed my own Lion rider dude, and then you got a perfect roll with your Malevolence!
Hax like always I see
Ultimate Showdown is pretty good.
Sort of a Magic Lite game, came out 5 days ago. It's free and matches last about 5 minutes, I found a game instantly over Gamecenter. UI is abit barebones but the game has alot of potential if the developers take it further. Rules are very easy to pick up. Booster packs and more decks take abit of grind to earn for free.
Currently the 3 themed decks are Medievel Robots, Zombies and Monkey Pirates.

Downloaded, looks like fun! I'll give it a couple tries, looking forward for some GAF-matches tmrw maybe?
It's pretty much a straight-up barebones copy of Magic though. Oh how I wish Wizards of the Coast expanded their Magic Online tool to iOS... I'd go bankrupt so fast.mediapulp_wes

Seems like a good time to pick up PA.
110x yes.
Also I retract the statement from before, Ultimate Showdown is VERY barebones, nothing like Magic. There's pretty much nothing to it, it's not very good.

Yes and I had no idea what was going as I'm new to that genre. I feel like I need to have someone sit down with me and explain the whole thing. I get Carc...but this...hard to learn a whole new system when you have a little one running around the house! Is it worth the re-download? I can pull it back off iCloud.
