Haha, yeah. It's a good education though!

Edit: and again. How are you building up such big chains? I can't seem to get enough influence to get the cards, let alone get them in my hand to play them!

If you want to participate in live gaming over multi-party video chat, PM me your Google+ profile. I'll add you to a circle called GAF Board Games, notify you, and then share that circle with the GAF board games group once we have a critical mass.

Im not sure where the link to my G+ is

Are you using this as a yucata thread as well? I need to find some time to learn that cool Few Acres of Snow game.

Not technically but I don't mind evangelizing yucata.de as well.

I'd be happy to teach you at some point or if you just want to play a few async games until I get back. It's another one that's easier taught than learned solo. Although if you know deckbuilding that's already a pretty good base.

Have you got a Yucata ID yet? I can send you an invite or two.
Most games work fairly well on iDevices apart from Pergamon.

Yeah, it's eznark. I spent a week pretty much doing no work and playing that politics game with Astro and others. I deleted the bookmark. However, I am ready to get back into it!

15 now on the G+ circle. Oh yeah, when I circle you, circle me back otherwise I don't think you'll see posts. Pretty much planning on using this as the basis for setting up live games as discussed above. Actually kinda stoked on the idea. I also post there about board games once every few weeks or so but honestly I don't socialnetwork too much other than reading stuff on Twitter and G+ for reading, work, and Hangouts.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.

I'mm confused, what do I have to do exactly? Where do I see it? I can't see you/anything boardgame related under my circles.

circles [left side] --> grab me --> drop me into a circle (any one you want). then i will show up in your main feed. not that there's a ton of stuff i'm posting or anything, just as a reference. once the group is pretty much set i'll share it with everyone and then we'll have a good core live boardgaming group.

Picked up Samurai. Played a game against the AI and it is super simple to play but seems to have some pretty enormous strategy. I sent out an invite to RaySpencer and AstroLad, and tried to send one out to a few others but the names on the Google Doc arent their Samurai names. Who is playing this game? Anyone else?

Assassins Creed Recollection got just upgraded with some goodies. Including an Auction house where you can buy or sell cards.

Wish that wasn't pay to win, I really enjoyed it.

All the cards you can get for free, via the story mode or online. When you clock the game there are challenges to earn heaps of in game currency (more than the story mode and they are repeatable) to buy booster packs. You can sell your spare cards now. This isn't any different to buying booster packs in real life or buying DLC for The Magic the Gathering games. it's very easy to get booster packs. It isnt pay to win

Someone help me out here....

Yeah, I know you can get the cards without paying, but that felt really slow. And when I went online I kept losing right away with all these uber powerful cards I had never seen before.

I should clarify that I don't like deck building games though. I suck at the building part. To each their own :)

Would you compare it to the Yu-Gi-Oh games for the GBA? I loved those things.

No. It's a real time TCG, and the aim of it is to get 10 influence in 2 of the 3 'regions' (aka zones). Agents (character cards) are sent to regions to gain points (influence) in either of those regions. You have these 'site' cards that gain influence of the course of 'a day' and they are persistent until the opponent overrides it. Also you have instant cards, that can buff, debuff, or erase agents or sites.

It's actually simple to learn and takes about 15 minutes. Also the game is FREE so grab it off the App store and get started.

I just bought 200 cards for 300 florins in AC Recollection in the new card Marketplace lol. 3 shit booster packs are worth 300f and gives you 30 cards. There are so many cards worth 1f each it's ridiculous haha.

For references sake you earn like 65f a battle, and much more in the challenges. Rare cards like Ezio are like 1200f at the moment on the marketplace, it's a player controlled economy now.

That's new then. I'll try to find some builds online and then give the game another shot.

BANG! [HD] the Official Video Game dropped to $0.99:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id406636303?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=4

Mother Lode, another board game I rec'd on the big thread a while back just got a FREE version to try out:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id515988628?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=4

It's inspired by the game Survive!, developed by a one-man shop, and offline only at the present. Fairly competent game for such a small production.
Full version is on sale for a buck (down from 4) :
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mother-lode/id490363915?mt=8
 
Is bang something worth getting? I don't even know what it's about. I should probably check out a dice tower review or something.

I'm still not clear on what my profile URL is, but I think I found you? Do you actually work for Google now?

I'm catching up with this thread and iOS games in general. Is Ascension the new GAF hotness? TTR?

Up for consideration to add to the spreadsheet:

Take It Easy! - Did anyone find out if you can play with friends? Retina with 4 player online now.

MindFeud - Qwirkle clone, free and online multiplayer. Not sure if you can play with your friends, though. Someone give it a whirl and report back.

Looks like you create an account and stake a claim on your username.

You can search for players and has a friend list so should work async ok.

Premium probably removes adds for 0.69 ukp. Not sure if the qwirkle people will like it. Good job it isn't by RK.

I guess I'll just add them both for the time being. Can always remove them later for whatever reason.

The new marketplace in AC Recollection is so good!

Ezio is now 3200f... I snapped up a shitload of Thief and Assassin cards that went down to 1f overnight (Assassin booster packs are typically 900f for 10 cards). It lags alot on the Marketplace since the prices are getting updated every second. I'm almost halfway through the collection of 288 cards available. I think i picked up at least 60 new ones and heaps of doubles to flesh out my decks since the marketplace went up.

In case you didn't know already this is my favorite iOS game :)

Haha ... That's actually a glitch w / the forfeit player.

It actually credits right in the stats.

GRREAAT game man .... very, very close!!!

Oh really? :/ Playing nothing on my turn would have tied us.

Was a good game, though. Thought I had it when I could still hit the forfeit dude, but you still managed to eat my dudes.

I don't think I used that Mesmeric Presence more than once on my own turn. Didn't realize how good it'd be for chain bait.

I'm glad you beat me actually, I couldn't resist the temptation of going out the cheap way, and was totally gonna attack the forfeit. That would have been a shameful win.
