iOS Board Games

This version is compatible only with iOS 4.3, so if you have older version of iOS don’t download this. Version compatible with iOS 3.1.3 was sent for Apple approval. It will be available for download in a week or so. Sorry for inconvenience.

There was also an update to Neuroshima Hex on August 10 - unfortunately it only supports iOS 4.3+. Bad news for us with 2nd Gen iPod Touch devices (which are stuck at 4.2.1)

The iOS 3 compatible update came out a couple of days ago.

Cabals seems interesting. I could imagine it as a physical game as well.

I am not subscribed to iOS Board Games. Why do I keep getting this? I don't own any of these game systems and I am not going to own any of these game systems. Android...iOS...not me.

Since I am not subscribed, how could I unsubscribe?

Make it stop, please!

• Codito Updates Release Schedule - August 17

Le Havre - Nov 2011
El Grande - March 2012
Tigris & Euphrates - September 2011

Codito reports that they are working with the original source art for a change on Le Havre and T&E is getting close to final testing and could see a realistic release of mid-September.

On the flip side... Legend of the 5 Rings on iPad, with decent support, regular tourneys, Boosters that are cheaper than the physical cards, and ways to 'redeem' both physical to digital and vis versa? Please!

Alright, that's cool, um, hold on, wait a minute, WAITAMINUTE!

What happened to Through the Ages???

Exactly. TTA was the one I was most looking forward to.

Alright, that's cool, um, hold on, wait a minute, WAITAMINUTE!

What happened to Through the Ages???

Even though he's totally wrong for liking them, at least we can all agree that there should be an OPTION in ALL GAMES to turn ALL ANIMATION OFF.

... but they need an option to skip levels or have less than 112 PER MAGE.

I have played a lot of kard combat. Was a beta tester. It is fun, and I deleted shadowera. The main problem now for me, and they are working on a fix, is that you pay $3 for a set of mages, but are forced to earn those cards through very repetitive and tedious 'tower' challenges. This was fun when i bought my first 4 mages and was learning the game, (and even then it went on too long) but not when i spent another $3 for a new set of mages. it is a lot of work to slog through 112 of the exact same levels to earn enough cards so that you can play that mage class online or against the ai. I just want the cards that I 'supposedly' paid for. I have now spent $8 on this game and I still don't get to use the cards!

If they added new tower challenges it would be better, but they need an option to skip levels or have less than 112 PER MAGE. I am on level 15 on te first mage and already burned out on what amounts to nothing but tedious grinding. At this rate, i wont actually get the new cards i paid for until Christmas. I suggested less levls, be able to skip levels (very frustrating to lose a level repeatedly, even on novice) new tower challenges, and better rewards for winning a level, like a new card, with full res artwork, not some feeble reward like an extra start mana or a boring card i have already been playing with for months in my old decks.

The Sage Geeklist

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/60529/sage-board-games...

has TTA in as a Christmas 2011 release. Last updated 29 June 2011.

That list hit a big Wall of Reality quite a while ago. Dates began slipping drastically during the fabled "Hey, OpenFeint will be a great solution for multiplayer!" debacle.

It's a handy list to have, and there's sometimes some useful nuggets of news in the comments, but the dates listed are best ignored.

Seriously? Wow. Not unlocking that game then.

Codito has been very good about updating that list with new "release dates". Given what we've seen with nearly all iOS release dates, one must really take them as the developer's target date for release. Targets move and I appreciate the communication when they do.

I've had it bookmarked for ages. ("Ages" ... get it? ... like "Through the Ages"? ... No?)

Volcano Island definitely looks to be inspired by Survive, but also appears to be different enough to not be an outright theft of the game. However, it crashes every time it gets to the main screen, so I may never know for sure what it's really like.

Eric, you didn't mention which version you downloaded — was it the "regular"? Because I've got the HD up and running now with no problems.

Where are you getting this 112? There's 33 levels at three difficulty settings, for a total of 99 per mage.

And even then, there's no reason at all to play more than a fraction of that total. Novice is ridiculously easy, so those can be be skipped after the first hour or so. The rest can be easily cleared with a combination of Expert and Master. Since clearing a tower with any combination of settings gets you all the cards for that class, it's really quite a flexible system.

There's actually a number of inaccuracies in his post; I noted a major one above.

Sorry, novice is not ridiculously easy, not on the higher levels of a tower.

You have to play/win ALL 132 levels to get all the cards for all the mage classes.

Except that it is. The AI throws out random cards, doesn't try to block, skips its turn for no reason ... it couldn't possibly be easier. I was pounding the novice AI like 40-0 or 50-0 within the first 90 minutes of playing the game.


Edit: okay, I see that we are actually saying the same thing. Honestly, I was thrown off by your earlier miscalculation, which I didn't understand at all.

I think you are confused. I said you need to play every level (33) of every tower to gain every reward. This is a fact. You cannot skip a level - you need to win each one.

So, is it Incinerator or Zabu that will be creating the Thunderstone iOS app?

Except that it is. The AI throws out random cards, doesn't try to block, skips its turn for no reason ... it couldn't possibly be easier. I was pounding the novice AI like 40-0 or 50-0 within the first 90 minutes of playing the game.


Edit: okay, I see that we are actually saying the same thing. Honestly, I was thrown off by your earlier miscalculation, which I didn't understand at all.

So, yes, for a complete set of all cards, you're looking at 33 levels per mage. Not a huge deal, though, when most of the levels begin by giving the player a decided on-field advantage. The towers are also a great way to learn the game in a pressure-free setting.

And you conveniently forgot to mention that there's a very easy way to get every card for all eight mages in about 2.8 seconds: unlock the $9.99 version and they are all yours. In fact, it's a lifetime plan, according to the developer. Pay 10 bucks, get every future release for free.

I'm not Gabe, although I once played him on TV.

The short version appears to be: Incinerator and AEG will partner for Nightfall (and other AEG properties, if I'm remembering it correctly); Zabu has partnered with AEG to do Thunderstone.

Volcano Island definitely looks to be inspired by Survive, but also appears to be different enough to not be an outright theft of the game. However, it crashes every time it gets to the main screen, so I may never know for sure what it's really like.

I'm not confused at all. Again, I was thrown off by your initial post, which was, frankly, both wrong and poorly worded.

I also never said you could skip a level; I'm not sure where you're getting that. I know how the system works.

And, yes, I'm fine with the towers. Enjoying them, in fact. Also, the new challenge mode that was introduced. And multiplayer has been pretty fun, although OpenFeint makes me want to vomit.

I'll close with this: you always seem stunned that other people might want different things out of their games than you do, or that they play in different ways that you do. It's like you literally cannot grasp the concept that not everyone thinks as you do or wants what you do. I saw this from you constantly at TA before you were invited to permanently leave over there, and I should know better than to engage you here.

Done with you and with this. We're spamming the thread at this point, and that's not fair to the good work that Gabe and Brad are doing.

Coincidence alert! A version 1.2 update just dropped like 10 minutes ago or something. It does mention "bug fixes" ... maybe that will help you out?

Thanks for chiming in, TV Gabe. Yes, Nightfall and other AEG properties was how it was worded on the previous news bit. I guess since Thunderstone is probably AEG's biggest "property", I was hoping that was included in the Incenerator partnership.

Can't wait for Thunderstone

Michael Powers has updated 3-Card Brigade, an app inspired by Battle Line and Schotten-Totten to version 1.2.0 with the following new stuff:
