Here too.
They are random in the main deck and only become active once they turn up.

My online times are pretty sporadic, so if its not async then I dont know when I will get a chance to play it. haha.
If im awake early enough this evening before work I will send something your way.

Just had a quick look around some reviews for this and it appears that there's no async option, which is sucky :/ Wish I'd bothered to find that out before I jumped on it; not sure that it'll get much play as it is.
Still, if you're around later then throw me an invite over and we'll see if we can make something work.

When buying a game on sale goes wrong...SMH. I guess I'll just give it a try now since it looks like it's not getting any better anytime soon.
Pretty much this. So much wasted potential. Would of been ok with even some interface fixes
That's the main thing it needs. You currently need a toothpick stylus to hit the buttons.
Conquest is basically fantasy axis and allies. It's fun if you find that genre enjoyable (I have a copy because I like guys on a map games).
Dont be crying man, you beat me like 20 games in a row prior to that.
Bout damn time I start getting some payback !!!
And I'll take it any way I can get it!!!
Woooowoooooo
Hahaha I guess...you were killing me on Storm of Souls so we'll have to give that another run.
Such a shitty way to go out though. I thought you were blowing me out with that Fallen monster, but to find out I lost by 1 point on a misplay is the worst.
Good games!
We can just move up through the expansions - been playing the base set for a while, so maybe try some straight RotF for a bit?
Don't know that I've ever played with just that set alone.
Sent you an invite.
Yeah I've been progressing through the sets with a few people. I'm pretty sure we've been playing the RotF set by itself for a at least a few games now. That's the set that Fallen monster is from.
But yeah, up to you what we play. I've got all the expansions and down for whatever.
Ok ... that must be why I finally won a couple.
Cuz prior to that I know we were playing just base set and I was getting my ass kicked pretty consistently there.
Yeah that's the only set I'd say I'm consistently good at. I'm not sure what it is, though. I guess I'm familiar with the cards and their value? I don't think it's random luck, haha.
Need to stop playing Ghost Stories on Nightmare or I'm going to hurl my iPad through a window. Ever make a mistake, have a tough roll, or have a powerful ghost come out at the wrong time and you're completely fucked. I can't even imagine playing Nightmare on the tabletop it would just be depressing. (Could probably read BGG forums though and figure out all the good strategies, but I've always found that lame as hell for any game unless you've completely mastered it yourself already.)
(Bringing tabletop to game night tomorrow -- NOT playing on Nightmare though.)

Nope. It's based on the flash game Pandemic online, has nothing to do with the Boardgame Pandemic. It's purely single-player. I've hyped it quite a bit in the other thread and it's caught on, there's A LOT of people playing it, you can ask any kind of question there
Doesn't really belong here, because it has nothing to do with boardgames/pandemic the boardgame at all. Ok, thanks for the info. I might give it a shot.Nope.

The developer was on QT3 podcast a few weeks ago. Smart kid.
San Juan is sweeeet.
Beta test this month? Release shortly after origins my ass. Saw that coming, that's now the third time they're breaking release date promises with no mention. Not coming until at least september or so? Gah that game is an insta-win, why does the publisher have to suk so much. -.-
Origins preview of playdek's Summoner Wars:
http://diehardgamefan.com/2012/06/08/origins-2012-coverage-summoner-wars-preview-ios/
We all know how awesome the game is and how awesome Playdek will port it, so the most interesting piece of info from this article is that release is set for END OF JUNE HUZZAH.
Also, they're releasing for FREE with one faction, and you can buy more as expansions if you like, so pretty much the same model that Hero Academy, the other Summoner Wars-like game on iOS, uses.

There is a big bunch iOS info from Origins over on BGG
The Summoner Wars summary was :

In the Playdek interview they mentioned some unannounced AEG project coming up, Nightfall expansion "soon", and the Penny Arcade DBG in the fall, amongst other things.
The Conquest Tactics game looks kinda cool.

Asmadi games had some cool things to show off such as Flower Fall, a goofy fun game. They also spoke to us about the digital plans beyond Fealty and a cool new project that combines both digital and physical elements. Consequential is the name of the project and it will include an interactive story element that is played with friends socially but will have content delivered via digital devices. Please look out for a video forthcoming.
WHAT ABOUT INNOVATION SUCKERS

That's a bummer about Dominion getting even more delayed. I want that app so badly, I'd pay practically any price for it as long as it worked. Even if it wasn't as smooth as Ascension, I'd still buy it and be mighty happy.
I'm really hoping it has most or all of the expansions, too. But seriously, why is this taking so long to release? It'll be an instant goldmine for them.

I think it said it had 3 of the expansions, prosperity, seaside and... Intrigue?
Unfortunately Asmadi doesn't have the digital rights, iello does. Not sure how to feel about that as fealty implementation was pretty spartan.
Not sure how much this fits in here, but the MtG: duels of the planeswalker app is coming june 20 and will be glorious if it's a good port. It doesn't allow for much customization, but it's magic gameplay and glorious, if it's anything like the pc version i have (i also have mtg online, which allows for more "real" mtg, and duels is more of a good-looking arcade version. Still fun )
(i also have mtg online, which allows for more "real" mtg, and duels is more of a good-looking arcade version. Still fun )The current Dominion app is perfectly functional. It has no async, but it works well for what it is and as a hold over for when the official one comes out.
My only/biggest complaint about that one is the lack of expansions
also, i'm pretty sure the guy who made the free one was only allowed to make it if a) it is free and b) he takes it down once the official one comes out... :/I'd love it if the unnanounced AEG was the best CCG I ever played, aka Doomtown. But I reals that's highly unlikely

Some pics of Summoner Wars! I can't wait, playdek should just do ALL the games.

They need to do a few things first (which I'm actually starting to wonder if they'll ever do):
-Chat
-Multitasking (CRAZY annoying)
-Elo pls
Yea lack of multitasking in Ascension is annoying. Game would flow so much better if it had it. Instead, it takes 20 seconds to get into a game every time you leave the app. :/
And Nightfall is even worse because 90% of the time you're just going in for a micro-turn (not to mention that in Nightfall you get kicked back to the main menu just for checking your damn notifications or multitask bar). Seem like they're moving in the wrong direction but hopefully not.
