I'm in for it either way.
Should we wait and see if the I & K decks come out first.
I'm up for now or for waiting until i&k decks come out, whichever people prefer. How many tournaments are running right now--just sw and waterdeep?
As I said in the Solforge thread, the tournament rewards are pretty generous. It costs 7 tickets to participate in draft, and so far I've received 7, 4, 5 tickets for going 2-1, 1-2 and 2-1. So 3 drafts and I'm 5 tickets down, but have gotten 115 cards.
I'm excited to try this out, but the biggest perk for me is the ability to play on iPhone!
This sounds like the right call--hopefully the next wave of cards shows up early in 2014...
There's a solforge thread?
Yep, though nothing officially, and by the post count I guess it's not that well known:

Thanks! I have been waiting for a sale.

Agricola update, new decks are out. Playdek has holiday sales tonight, too!
Haha. Playdek reading this thread???
Kinda shitty though how long it was between updates! Agricola almost came out a year ago before it got pushed back or whatever it was till February.

Hey, soooo it shouldnt take nearly 2 months for 4 people to play the Finals in NH . I feel bad for blahness at this point, since it took him and Flynn 5 days to get their games done...haha.
Slacker and bonesquad hurry up!! Fuuuuuck! haha.

It's all basically doomwing/zimas/some sort of grimgaut deck. That's why im sticking to draft for now. So much more fun
Hmmm, I only tried it once yesterday, but I went 3-0 with a robot deck and met 3 all different non-robot decks. But at least without the card changes, everybody would be playing N/T shapers. And if that's what you met, that's just people who haven't realized the meta has changed.
But I agree with tm24, draft is a lot more fun, even though I never managed to get to 3-0 there (in 7-8 runs).
I have a game now where Two tiles are missing from the row and it won't let me take my turn, so yeah.
For some reason every time I unlock my ipad and every time I launch an application it asks me for my password again. It's annoying to the point of me almost throwing it in the trash, and it's impacting how quickly I play my turns in games.
I just want to fucking play Agricola, Apple, you pieces of shit!

Whoops I guess bonesquad didn't report it - he defeated me in game three yesterday, something like 18 to 15. He moves on with that win.

If Summoner Wars is running this can happen (if you have the bug).
When I zap it from the Home button it goes away.
Oh man, thanks. I'll give that a shot. My ipad has been relegated to legal pad and board game device since I got my htc one.
I am fighting the urge to get a Surface 2. Basically boardgames are the only thing keeping me on iOS.

Ok, thanks. If I could get the army used in that last game too that would be great.
bonesquad vs blahness now for the final.
I'm on my phone and being lazy, so I will make this a more exciting post when I get home. Haha.
I feel like freshening up the Official NeoGAF Board Game Community spreadsheet.
Any games you think should be removed / added?
Should we wipe it and see who is still active?
A better way to go about things that you can think of?
I'd say we could remove:
New World Colony (anyone playing?)
Ingenious (anyone playing?)
Racer Feud (Never quite worked, Formula De still coming?)
Rivals for Catan (anyone playing?)
Operation Eradicate (anyone playing? Pandemic is out, but no multiplayer...)
Add:
Tanto Cuore (forgot to add this one, anyone playing?)

Le Havre is on sale for a dollar... Worth an impulse buy?
btw how is the new Carcassonne expansion?

Haha ok I thought that was a rule I missed or something there being gaps in the tile row.
That was my first thought too, but then when I could no longer place any tiles I got the hint!

I think those game additions and subtractions sound good. Maybe racer fued can stay? I haven't tested it lately though, but I still have it on my phone ready to go if people want to play.
I like the idea of a full list wipe too, I'm sure there are a bunch of names on there of people who now banned it will just never come back because we scared them off
Le Havre is def worth a dollar.
The new Carc expansion is different to say the least. It really makes it a whole different game but so far it is pretty fun. Just dont expect the standard Carc game flow.
I think Racer Feud is great when it's actually working. Wouldn't mind giving it another look, but it hasn't been updated since June and is still getting bad reviews.
Really hoping the Formula De app is still in the works and blows it out of the water. That could be soooo good if it has all the key online features.

It's a decent Dominion clone.
The base game lacks a little variety as there are only something like 14 different cards (not including the special maids).
The theme is maids and love.
If they get more of the expansions out it could get more varied.
As it's Playdek it might not happen, but for 99c/69p it's good value.

I did, picture just hasn't updated yet. Click the link!
What's weird is he responded to my PM a few of days ago and said he'd talk to Smiley, but never followed through. If anyone wants to volunteer for his slot, I'll slide you in if kestrel doesn't get a response by monday.

The pictures take a while to update, but the ones in the thread will auto update when the site does it.
If you like worker placement games then I would recommend picking it up! But don't get it just to fill the slot. Heh.
