I wonder why durty, bummey, kelthorn, and suicidalmaniac aren't also in the first heat. We have an even number of dudes! Challonge why you crazy

There seems like there'd be a good reason but I can't put my finger on it. Because otherwise we would have 6 winners and then 3 and we wouldn't be able to pair them off properly then?

We should randomize it before we start anyway.

Also, sign up for the ascension tournament please! There are a few people who were in the first two but aren't in this one!!

Is there a way to add myself to this, or do I just have to post here/message you on challonge? Either way, I'd like to enter, all my usernames are GonSmithe.

Great! All you should have to do is to make a challonge account and then follow the link above, there should be a join tournament option there. No need for me to do anything.

If you're having problems still then join the groupme room, there's always someone there who could help. Or post here again, but it should just work. Famous last words.

Hrm... ok well can you play multiple people on one iPad for multiplayer? If so, that's ok with me :)
I've recently started playing Caylus on my iPad with my girlfriend, it works really well locally. Same as Neuroshima Hex - there's nothing really wrong with the implementation of the game itself, it's just the multiplayer that might as well not exist.

I'm willing to try a multiplayer game if you like (=TACD= on GC) but as has been said it may just vanish unexpectedly at some point.

I started a game without really thinking. I'm not in groupme yet, so, Beelzebozo, if I forfeit due to the time limit, it's because I'm moving house. The rest of the match/tournament should go fine once after that though.

I just got an iPad mini solely for playing games and more specifically board games on it. I've been spending tons of money, but I wondered, is there any way to keep track of board game sales in the app store? I bought all of my must haves but there's a long list of games I'd buy if the price were a little better.

Do you use AppShopper at all? That's pretty much the easiest way to mark and track app price changes and updates, whether for board games or for anything else.

That game-ender monster that empties the honor pool is brutal, and so is the "aquire all heroes in the center row" hero. At least Ascension keeps the fairer cards in the main decks and leaves the wacky effects for promos.

I'm wondering how Risk is on the iPhone. I almost bought it, but all the negative reviews on the App Store turned me off to it. Have there been any patches to it to fix the cheating AI? Are the reviewers overreacting?

It was one of the first games I got on iPhone, which has been a couple of years ago now so my memory is kind of spotty. I don't remember it being horrible or the AI cheating, and I think I got a couple of weeks out of it as my game of choice before moving on to other stuff.

Don't buy RIsk. Buy Strategery. It"s superior in every way imaginable.

I've been beta testing it for weeks. Ask me anything. (I think it's worth a purchase, but I'm probably an unreliable opinion since I love the cardboard game.)

Never commit to a big city against Bummey. His whole Carc play style revolves around salting the earth and limping across the finish line.

I used to love the board game version as a little boy, let me know if the iOS port is any good. Got a huge backlog of things to play but I may have to make an exception for that one due to childhood nostalgia.

Just got this. Never played it before but it seems pretty fun, and the port seems pretty solid so far (though the last tutorial seems to have a bug that prevents me from getting very far into it). Not terrifically deep but easy to learn. I also imagine this would be more fun in person so you can watch the person playing Mr. X poo poo themselves as everybody converges on their position.

If anybody wants to hit me up for a GC game, I'm =TACD=

Edit: Hrm, this seems to be one of those games that only supports 'live' online multiplayer. Probably best to only get this if you plan to play it locally.
