I started up a few games in neuroshima hex, loving it so far.
I still haven't taken the time to learnle havre, but I will tonight.

When a boat hits the seventh space, after that turn you need to provide the number in the pot. Either through 'food' or francs. If you don't have it you sell buildings or take loans.
Ships provide some food so it is good to get some built soon.

AstroLad has already taken a loan. He's probably out of the running now

I'm probably right behind him. I own the smokehouse but have no fish to feed my family. What a vicious society.
Unfortunately our game of NSHEX with Slacker got deleted
Also, your guys' description of Le Havre, but the UI seems too unplayable for my iphone If anyone hasn't done so yet, hit me up with some invites for Ascension/Carc/Nightfall/NShex anytime, not too much going on atm
GC is smiley1790Also, as I said, average appstore approval time is 8 days, so submission of Summoner Wars last Friday means... ETA should be this Monday/Tuesday if all goes well :x can't wait goddamn.

Yeah, 3 player NH seems to be hard to play, haha. People need to remember to take their turns! NH works well too, its not like those GC games where the update on the app disappears.
Oh well! I will just try to play more 2p ones, and try for 3p ones when I know who will be around I guess!

Having played it a while it's not that bad.Unfortunately our game of NSHEX with Slacker got deleted
There's only a few things to do and once you've played a few short games with the in game autopilot for assistance you should get the hang of it.
There's 16 icons for resources but 8 of them are the improved version of the base version, so it isn't too overwhelming. Most of the base resources are displayed on the offer spots.
Each building card has a built in description so you don't need to go back to the rules too much.

Should I be excited for summoner wars? What game would you say it's most similar to?
Yes. Yes you should. iOS wise, Hero Academy is probably the closest. Boardgame-wise... Uh... It plays most like a traditional TCG, but with set decks (there's 6 factions with prebuilt decks, you CAN customize in real life, but not sure the iOS app will allow that, most likely just set decks), think a simpler version of MtG? It's a loooot of fun and playdek has a history (Ascension/Nightfall) of doing awesome ports, so definitely A LOT of reason to be excited about, Summoner Wars is a great game and we can expect a great port.
Cool looking forward to it

Me and Mecha are tied 2-2 after a ridiculous 52-51 game.

And Mecha wins it. Good games!
Great series! Down to the wire. I yelled out loud in game 4 when I misplayed the last turn to lose. Phew.
No we haven't. Start the game, ill join once I get home from workwait i'm confused as to where the ascension tourney stands
tm24 did we play? i thought we did but i dunno. if not guess we should
There actually are mercenaries and reinforcement cards for at least vanguards and fallen.
Thanks, good series to you too. If you ever want to play some more games I'm totally up for it.
AstroLad/tm24, let me know when your series is over as I've got one of you two next!
Good game. I really enjoy when games become about trapping the other guy's meeples the best you can, and sacrificing one of yours to trap two of your opponent's.
Edit: Astrolad, invite sent.

Yo smiley, our NH game is stuck on you being offline again. log into the match and see if it fixes it!
Yeah I just got a notice saying it's my turn, logged in and it said "RaySpencer is offline"... I hope it's fixed now, but I definitely took my turn...

I'd like to join tourney. I'd like to play Carc, El Havre, Tigris & Euphrates, Ascension, or Scrabble.
I'd play Hero Academy too, but I've only played once and I'm pretty terrible.

I think every game should have a tourney since it makes the games feel really intense
Always up for invites though apologies in advance if I'm a bit spotty with turns the next month or so (I do usually try to take at least one set of turns per day minimum though).
Currently playing and open to invites for (name is same as here in all games)
Carcassonne (all)
Neuroshima Hex (haven't played this in a few weeks so yes!)
Le Havre
Ascension (all)
Tigris & Euphrates

Oh, for anyone who plays 7 Wonders IRL the official companion app is really nice -- new Wonder, stat-tracking, etc. Totally worth it if you play 7 Wonders at all -- it actually got me back into the game.

I agree, I think up next should be either Nightfall, Neuroshima Hex or Hero Academy
I'll set up the next Carcassonne tourney, and a Hero Academy Tourney is there is interest. Here's what I'm pondering; tell me what you think:
Carcassonne
- Double elimination
- No 16 player limit - we'll just throw in whatever number signs up and let the system sort it out. We'll have a few byes that way but we won't have to leave anyone out.
- Do we want to do ELO seeding again? I like it, but like the randomness involved with not doing it.
- I'll keep signups open for a week before we start so everyone has a chance to see it and jump in.
Hero Academy
- Best 2 out of 3 game series against each opponent.
- Choose any race.
- I guess that's it.
- Maybe no player limit here either?
