Hey, at least they nail the gameplay of all the games, which is IMHO the most important part (I'm looking at your, Operation: Eradicate dev). The only thing they're struggling with is some part that's not part of the core gameplay and IMHO okay to implement later, I'm still having loads of fun with their games.

Oh damn, I accidentally just forfeited our game, sorry :/ just reinvite
Its ok, you were about to get steamrolled anyways!
Assassins Creed Recollection expansion is coming out at the end of the month for $2.99.
It will include
* 144 new AC Revelations cards
* New AC Revelations campaign mode
* Revelations booster packs
and some other stuff.
I'm just trying to remember stuff from the survery they had for it. They are thinking about adding other features such as a Stats page, avatars, chat, and other stuff according to the survey they had.

It looks like the Ascension game has a glitch - it crashed during my turn and keeps crashing when I try to load it.Thats why I started a new one.

I'm about to lose every Carc game I'm in. Lol.
Lambda just shot himself in the foot in Nightfall... -confused- Killed his own 4-damage guy and damaged his other guy, because his cards came before mine and I didn't have any minions in play he could target, ouch. :x
EDIT: DIdn't matter in the end, I still lost

I was chaining to get the card that lets you play a minion from your discard to play Big Wolf or whatever. I think I did make a mistake in that chain, though. I was waiting that whole game for you to end a chain in Franz, the Leave Me off it is so brutal.
I believe they're porting the master set, so 1 for free (in the free game), 5 for IAP purchase. There are more that'll probably come later
Totes ready for some Summoner Wars, especially after the disappointment of the mediocre Neuroshima Hex async implementation. Been too long since we had a good board-game release.
I know, biggest release was the Ascencion update until now... And next one will be Nightfall expansion after that. Playdek all the way, keeping us busy. And then also Agricola at some point

My whole app freezes when I hit the play online button. Anyone else having problems?

I demand a rename for the thread!

I've seen something like that when I can't get through a firewall. Does killing the app from double tapping the home button make any difference?

Quick Carcassonne question: Is there any way to look up Carc players after you play them? I just finished playing a tense game against a guy who was absolutely gifted the game at the start (it was seriously the most uneven tile distribution I had ever seen), and yet I still beat the shit out of him in the end. It was obvious he was a very experienced player by the way he played. And, lo and behold, he quit the game with 1 move left.
I'm pretty sure my EOL shot up, but I don't know exactly by how much, so I'm really curious how could he was. I beat the 70th ranked person in the world yesterday, and I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was higher.
I screencapped the game so I could remember his username (and count at the final score)... any way to search for him aside from just looking at the top 150 online leaderboard?

White outline means you are P1. I think when the stars/honour points are depleted on P1's turn P2 is guaranteed one more turn.
(prepared to be wrong)
Pool is at 0, ends with the last person to take a turn that round.

I think the white outline is for the last player, at least in 1v1.
Everyone has
how many times have we gone "you know it would be really useful to know if i had another turn after this. ah well, fuck it!"?
casual boardgaming at its finest
It's pretty much this.
Example. You have three players A, B, C, with A being the first player. If it reaches zero honor on player A's turn it ends with Player C's turn. If it reaches zero honor on player B's turn it will end it end on player C's turn. If it reaches zero honor on player C's turn it will end on player C's turn.

I thought this for a while, but I'm almost positive it's last player.

Ha, interesting Carc game with AstroLad, Got the Shakes and octobot. I can't believe I got to my last piece with 0 points only to win with 81.
Edit: you are correct. White outline means lsst
Perfect gif response. I like how so many of us (myself included) didn't really know how it worked for sure haha.

Ahhh I thought they had planned for online play? Maybe that's an update down the road now.
I was wondering about that. Wel, it'll disappear in fourteen days
And add me to the list of regular Ascension players who could never figure out when the game was going to end.

It's the Great Odin Raven card which caused it. Looking on the forums it's happened to others too.I was wondering about that. Wel, it'll disappear in fourteen days

Also wifi is blocking carc and ascension connections and 3G is a no-no so no moves for a while.
That is one thing I have to give Playdek props for. If you're going to make a game that depends heavily on MP don't make it iPad-only. Sure most of their game are a little bit tougher UI-wise on iPod/iPhone but who cares, as long as it works. And everyone wins b/c you get a bigger player base.
They seem like really cool people too. In an interview I watched they mentioned how they said they want to improve on PR and media communications (-cough- they're still way better than Rio already), then the interviewer asked them if he can talk about the Summoner Wars experience he had because he wasn't sure about whether there was an embargo or not. "Yeah... see, that's exactly what we have to improve, you shouldn't have to ask whether or not you can talk about our game"
