So 4 for 3?

That'd be pretty sweet. 4 new games to check out.

4 for the price of 3 totally makes sense. I thought you meant 3 for the price of 1.

Sorry for the confusion - it think it was 4 for 3. Watch for it Boxing Week.

Just got Stone Age for iPhone (not to be confused with Settlers of the Stone Age).

My Dreadball package arrived this past week... I can't wait to break it out with some players in my Blood Bowl league.

iOS Board Games

Among the best things in life is playing printed games in person with family and close friends. When those are not convenient we like iOS Board Games. News, reviews, previews, and opinions about board gaming on iPhones, iPads, iPods and even Android devices. (iPhone board games, iPad board games, iPod board games, Android board games)

Picked up Formula D for my brother's Christmas present. Don't know too much about it but he loves F1 and he's been getting into board games a lot lately, so hopefully it plays well. I'll give my thoughts after we get a chance to play it.

There's a big rectangular box under the tree that looks and feels a lot like Eclipse, and it has my name on it!

I love F1 and I'm a big fan of Formula D. Just make sure you use the advanced rules.

Got the Star Wars LCG today. We rocked some Munchkin, Power Grid, and Pandemic after dinner tonight with some friends who are new to board games.

Coys1882 · 01-03-2013, 11:06 AM

Update: The new Star Wars LCG is very very good.

Did you get it locally?

troutman · 01-03-2013, 01:11 PM

How about Eclipse on January 12th?

No - ordered it from Starlit Citadel. Got it just before Crimbo.

Is it sold out everywhere?

I am likely free, what time would we be starting? Being Saturday, it would give us some flexibility to start early.

Sounds good to me.

11th would work for me. 12th is just a maybe! Don't have a work schedule yet for that day.

Rathji · 01-04-2013, 04:03 PM

11th is likely better for me as well, but I think both days are certainly doable.

SebC · 01-04-2013, 08:57 PM

Both are okay for me.

It is in Beta, but there are a few good games slated to come out for it, including Race for the Galaxy, Settlers of America and a couple Catan games.

Right now, there is Dominion, plus a couple other games. It is the F2P model, where you can play the basic game for free but can purchase expansions. There is single player, a campaign mode and multi-player lobbies where you can start games.
