Just want to say on the front page, New World Colony is the best board/strategy game on the iPad. Also, Solforge is still sucking me in still, they need to hurry up and release more content.

KarmaticStylee posted:I have no problem buying the game and $0.99 unlocking the decks I like the most. It's actually cheap, all things considered. I just meant that I hope the Sealed mode itself is not tied to IAP. I actually assume it won't be as you play a computer. It says AI and other players. If you're familiar with MTGO or Hearthstone, they both have draft modes that you pay for via unopened booster packs, which I could see WotC following with this iteration of MtG Planeswalker.

It is, but this year they're adding a sealed draft mode with ai and pvp.

vtlock posted:Planeswalker has always been a sales pitch for the paper product, so I would be surprised if there were persistent IAP angle to it. As I said, to me this looks like their way of bridging into a more fleshed out product similar to MTGO, especially since a big hitter like Blizzard is getting into the iOS TCG space with an identical element of for-pay booster drafting. You generally win boosters that you can use to enter the next draft though, so that takes some of the burn off. Of course, I'd love to have a draft mode that doesn't require repeated paid entry, but knowing WotC that's exactly what the pvp mode will be.

Ace Patrol from Sid Meier is out and it's fantastic! http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Sid-Meier-Ace-Patrol-Takes-Skies-iOS-Today-55504.html Free game, with IAP to unlock all countries, etc.

It definitely is. As others pointed out in the iOS gaming thread, this would be a perfect engine for the X-Wing miniatures board game.

It's a deck building boardgame. Kind of on its own there as far as I know.

Yeah, it's got the deck building of a traditional TCG, but it's a boardgame more than anything else. I think it's a great game that's vastly underrated.

MTG 2014 or the new Ascension expansion? gently caress this is a difficult choice. How good is the sealed mode? Money difference doesn't matter, I just know whichever I get will take up all my game time for a while.

If I haven't played Carcossone but once or twice, is it worth starting with the base game or just grabbing all of the expansions and playing like that?

Yes to which? I was asking if I should start with just the base game or the base AND expansions.

Alternatively, put them on your wishlist in the App store and just check it every so often.

Agricola is actually pretty simple to play, just kinda hard to figure out how to do well. It helps if you spend sometime learning what different things cost so you can make a basic strategy of what you want to spend your turns collecting. Start really small, and every game try to add something new to your farm without giving up what you were building towards before. It's kind of like Dominion in that you can figure out combos, for lack if a better term, and different strategies to win different ways. For the first couple of games, try to focus on getting a bigger family 4-5 members, and feeding them all. Then start with fields and veggies. Then add animals, fences, and stables. It's a really fun "Sim-farm" mechanic hidden inside a really clever worker placement game. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Aug 15, 2014 |

Yeah, even two years later I can still play and enjoy the hell out of any expansion or the base set of Ascension. All time top iOS game for me, with Carc in 2nd. Agricola has been inching up there now that I'm getting more comfortable with it. I want to try the expansion decks but I don't really understand what they change about the game.

Galaxy of Trian, aka Carcassonne in space (with mining colonies, ship combat, and a lot more) reached it's final stretch goal on kick starter and will be getting an iPad app as well! It has some really cool improvements over Carc, like tile drafting, Multi-sided tiles, and a lot more. Early reviews are really promising, and a lot of players said it has completely replaced the former for them. Can't wait. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1118278224/galaxy-of-trian

Seems really cool, but I'm hesitant to have a board game that might not work in 3-4 years if the app isn't updated. I really wish the app was an optional companion and not a requirement.

PaybackJack posted:FFG isn't going anywhere in the next 5 years. You say all those things, but I have quite a few games and apps I've bought on iOS in the past two to three years that simply do not work on my iPhone 6 + or even my old iPad running iOS8. Like, they don't even launch, or some do and the have huge bugs like the touch screen registers inches off because of a new device size and resolution. Obviously you are not familiar with the App Store's shortcomings and the way a lot of great apps and developers let things just slide into oblivion. I'm not talking indie guys either, but major developers and companies. Hell, just this week Square said they were never going to update a $16 game to work on iOS 8 (it's been broken since last summer) and only agreed to after huge pressure. It happens all the time, so no, I don't feel comfortable shelling out that kind of cash for a board game that relies on a digital app to play.
