I checkout out Nightfall on my friend's iPhone and let me just say wow I admire you guys. That game is hard enough to follow sometimes on the giant screen. eek.
that said i was an itouch gamer for years before getting the 'pad, but that was mostly all carc and a little ascension

Yeah, I bought an iPod Touch strictly as a gaming machine, and loved the hell out of it, but since getting this new iPad I havent touched it at all. Once I actually jump on the iPhone train (probably this year) I will use that for some games, but probably just taking my turns in MP games while im away from wifi.
Love this iPad so much, so good for games.

Might be a little slow on Carc moves over the next 2 weeks. Heading out of the country.
Will still have wifi so it's all good!

Revival? IT WAS NEVER DEAD.
I had to take it out on poor Heel for that loss :/ I had like 8 constructs in the end and like 10 extra carddraws per turn :/ 71 points in cards lol.
also I WANT THAT ASCENSION UPDATE RIGHT NOW GRRRRR
I want it so bad!
Ahhhh can't wait! I also vastly prefer the new art for the common cards.
This man is a liar and a cheat. Also, this game is all luck. Not to mention I'm not used to the expansion yet...yeah that's it.
Okay maybe like 5 extra carddraws per turn. I DID have 8 constructs in play in the end though

Yeah that was killer. Earlier doc wiley beat me by defeating Avatar of the Fallen on the last turn. This has not been a good Ascension day...lol.
Record is now 31-11. Trying to learn from people who kick my ass.
Hey your record is still WAY better than mine. I'm barely at 50%
Im pretty sure if you take out our games you would be at 75%

Octobot, I am happy to play games with you, but you have to set longer than 1 day, hell you couldn't even finish the last one because your time ran out.
Ok I'll set for longer. Sorry if I missed a timer, I am pretty good with games now.

Just ended a pretty intense Nightfall game with Smiley. We both passed on chaining a few times, and we both managed to clear some heavy upcoming attacks on our turns. Of course it ended with a one card chain with the purple starting card.

My guess is Friday. Doesn't mean I don't check every 5 minutes.
I sent out a couple of Ascension invites earlier, but if anyone fancies having a pop at me on that or Nightfall then my GC username is 100needles. I'll take you all on! Will definitely be getting the new expansion when it hits, so feel free to include me on some of those games too.
Has anyone noticed that you can sometimes add extra cards when creating a game in Nightfall? If you click on the "details" tab under your profile you can see the expansions for the game (locked) and the nightfall one has three cards you can turn on or off. Mine has Zombie Horde and Shallow Seven and another I can't select. Didn't see anything explaining this in the app, so not sure if it's common knowledge. I assume you unlock those cards by winning them from people/winning games?

the Nightfall promo cards are all tied to Achievements :
Zombie Horde for beating the Tutorial
Shadow Seven for winning a 4 to 5 player match with 5 or less wounds
Lisaveta Florescu for dealing 500 career wounds
once you've unlocked them you can choose to include them in matches.
I see! Didn't realise that was the case. Will have to start some games with them included I guess!
Edit: Assssttrroooollaaaaaad! I thought I ha that game in the bag, but you tied it up. Next time!

Lots of people are forgetting about ticket to ride matches! Take your turns fools!
This is because their notifications suck! (Like T&E). Good reminder though. I have to prod myself to check T&E and TTR every couple days. Which is too bad because T&E is an awesome game -- wish I had more matches going.

The TTR notifications are terrible, and I never know which one I get an invite for since they show up on both my iPad and iPhone even thought I only have TTR Pocket installed on my iPhone and the regular TTR on my iPad.

Yeah, the pull down notifications menu works pretty well though, and I usually just check through all my multiplayer games once a day, just to make sure I didn't miss any.
Edit: looks like I forgot about tigris! In my defense that game is new to me, so it's not part of my daily rotation!

I forget how, but I believe even the pull-down notifications disappear.

Hrm, that sucks. Stupid apple!
Man, I finally beat Anilones ay ascension, but now he's beating me at nightfall. This is some bullshit IMO! Haha
RaySpencer

Haha, nice nightfall game Anilones. You completely crushed me into the ground.
I couldn't quite believe that game, hadn't played with Draft or Promo cards so was experimenting a lot. I should do it more often!Haha, nice nightfall game Anilones. You completely crushed me into the ground.

Good game superrobot! Quite pleased with a 63-63 loss in my first ever (completed) game against a human opponent. Still not 100% on what I was setting out to do, but it kind of worked!
Well played
Thanks. You too.
Never won on a tiebreak before.
Will rematch shortly. I've no handle on strategy so far. You'll need to ask the veterans here.
I know there are some Android boardgamers that lurk in here and this seems like a pretty great thread: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/9977/a-plethora-of-android-boardgame-helper-apps-a-new
uberweirdly I find Android to actually be better for board-game tools. i started a thread on bgg looking for ipad/ios board-game tools and the results were pretty crap. perfect for me since i have a galnexus

ITS UP ITS UP ITS UP!
- Adjustable Honor Pool for OFFLINE games
- Fast-app switching support
- Next Game button for quickly switching between online games that are waiting for you to take your turn
- 28 day ONLINE game timer
- Support for iPad HD Retina Display
- In App Purchase Manager buy and restore from within the game
- Selectable themes: select between game themes from all your purchased versions (Chronicle, Return, Storm)
- In-App purchase: Ascension: Return of the Fallen
- In-App purchase: Ascension: Storm of Souls
- In-App purchase: Promo Pack 1
Fast-app switching = multitask support?
Also HELLLLLLLZ YEAH I'm home in 25min tops, SEND ME INVITES PEOPLE. I have 30mins until going to my gf's, wanna get some live games in or at least get it started.
How about we make a special thing for Ascension where R = Return of the Fallen, O = All expansions and P = all expansions + promo?
Edit: Adjustable honour pool WOULD be pretty cool online too, especially with now 28day-timers... :x
I think this works nicely.
Also, ready to go with Souls and promo. OMG it looks so pretty.
I'm just asuming that people buy RotF before buying the newest expansion, and that before promos, so a scenario where someone would only have the new expansion but NOT RotF seems unlikely.
