ASK ME HOW FAR LEBRON'S DICK CAN FIT INSIDE MY MOUTH

Tiny thief is a good one. The first three campaigns are free to play. I think it is $2 to unlock the last two of the main game. And another $3 for the expansion pack.

Tiny thief is...not a chess game.

My 7 year old son just got interested in Chess today and after playing a few games with him I thought it'd be great to load up something on his iPad that can further teach him and let him play against the computer. Even better if they have 'for kids' oriented tutorials. I'm very irritated by much of the app store with the free games for kids littered with ads and other crap so looking for a goon endorsed version. Would be willing to pay, but free is always better.

Recommendations?

Thanks!

I haven't tried this one personally, but it looks like your best bet:

The chess recommendation in the past has always been Shredder Chess. The difficulty is very scalable, and you can always ask to see a recommended move. Not sure if it is better or worse for kids though.

Shredder Chess is a good chess app, though I prefer Chess Pro (Shredder Chess is cheaper). But while Shredder does include some tactics puzzles, it doesn't really explain them at all, and I don't think they would help a new person learn very much.

I'd also recommend anyone learning chess to check out YouTube.

I kicked a few people from Goons Need Brains- didn't realise pubbies would even find the thing. If any innocent goons were culled just reapply.

Ways to speed up stamina regen:
* Get in a good, high-level guild. At max guild level, it's 35 minutes per tick, down from an hour.
* Leveling a unit refills its stamina.

Ways around it:
* Once you have enough units of decent level, you can swap them around forming an A team, B team, etc. So while you play with one team, the others are regening.
* Play the other side while waiting. Swap back and forth between sides combining with the above and you can play (mostly) indefinitely.

If I use Quick Battle. Does that just put a timer on them? If I actually play through, the timer won't start?

When quick is introduced it tells you that it uses the entire bar instead of 1/3. The main time to use quick is if you have a few minutes say in line at the store, program installing whatever. It is a ton quicker but it is going to take a ton longer to regenerate the stam.

Yeah, I think this would be wise. In the #2 guild it seems like over half aren't goons, or just don't even want to play.

Same with #4, but since it was just opened, clearing probably will be delayed.

The raids have really sweet bonuses for the top ten contributors for each phase, but it seems tough to hit the 2nd and 3rd levels of the raid bonus unless everyone is really putting in some effort.
