Agricola is scheduled for "Summer", not sure if Formula Feud (?) is still hapening. Lost Cities and Nightfall expansions soon-ish. RFTG and the 3 other Playdek games sometime this year?

That Formula game got pulled from review by the dev after the publisher of Formua De got wind of it. Sounded like it was dead in the water.

And RFTG is another Goko title, ya know?

Goko owns RFTG so.......

[tm24]

I mean I called it that it'd be terrible, but not even I expected it to fail at even the most fundamental of all levels, and all levels imaginable. Good thing I didn't get excited.

Ahh, the dark souls pc version corallary strikes again

[Smiley90]

Goko owns RFTG so.......

Well....... Fuck.

[octobot]

I won by a point in one of the best carc games ever.

I agree that was a great game

[mercviper]

good games hereafter. dat double slasher crit. :O

[soldat7]

Hey, at least Goko has those 150 licenses available so you too can go develop the next big #socialgames with them! I know I'd love to work at a software company that doesn't care if I promise a due date and miss it by several months...repeatedly. I swear, some people just like to bitch about everything:)

150 licenses. ONE.HUNDRED.FIFTY LICENSES. And they're asking for devs? I'm utterly stunned by this. What a terrible day for iOS board games. They just money-hatted the hell out of everyone, it seems.

[AstroLad]

They have FFG and others too apparently. Eek. Just have to hope for the best I guess.

[Kreven]

You got to be facking kidding me.

They (@gokogames) just announced on Twitter that they've gone back to Beta because Goko's launch had more than a few hiccups.

I think it was said they're resubmitting the artwork for Formula and renaming it to avoid violating any copywrite laws, but will still be released in some form eventually.

Are those 2nd round of games in the Carc tourney's loser's bracket still in progress? Just want to make sure they've at least started.

someone beat this guy, please, in the losers bracket. Dude has been destroying me in 1V1s since our tourney game (after I had a 3 game win streak...lost like the next 4 haha).

[Yaboosh]

I really wish Carc would get more detailed stats on wins and losses, including records in different player counts and records against individual players.

[Gamecocks625]

Ok, I like having a high ELO but I have no idea why in one game I'll lose by 2 points and lose like 26 ELO points, but then I'll blow someone out by 30 points and only gain 8 ELO points. What's the deal? (Seinfeld voice). Can someone explain ELO to me?

I really wish Carc would get more detailed stats on wins and losses, including records in different player counts and records against individual players.

Totally agree. Would love that feature.

[AstroLad]

It only has to do with the ratings of other people. If you win against someone with your same Elo it's roughly +20/-20. But then if you beat people below you you gain less and they lose less.

[AstroLad]

Gah sorry accidentally rejected a Carc invite.

What are some good 4-player, turn-based board games on iOS?

[RaySpencer]

I meant to comment on some of my games in SW earlier, but I will now!

First, sorry I forgot who exactly the game was against, Kosh I think, it was my Cloaks vs his Dwarves, I ended up getting my Vlox in on HIS backline, and was kinda cornered but I had some friends near by, a Scrapper, and Dagger my Champ. I would have died next round for sure, but I assassinated a key guy, and brought my Dagger up to help, and we killed the Oldin! I was scared, it was super fun.

Cloaks are easily my favorite team, and its weird because they arent a type of team I would normally use. FK are a close second!

Hereafter - GG man! I used a bunch of my abilities at really in opportune times in our game, because I had the issue of ALL 3 of my champs in my hand really early in that game. It really fucked me up.


What do you guys do in a game where you get your champs in hand really early, and dont have the magic to summon them?

What are some good 4-player, turn-based board games on iOS?

I would recommend:

Ticket to Ride (iPad or Pocket version, depending on what you need)
Samurai
Carcassonne
-edit: Ascension! I forgot ascesnion-

and then there is a a few more that I havent played too much yet, but seemed really good when I did:

Le Havre
Caylus
Neuroshima Hex
Catan (not online)
Titan HD (not online)

Those would probably be my top ones. Carc, Ticket to Ride, Ascension and Samurai are amazing games, loads of fun.

Wait a minute...

You can run out of cards to draw in Summoner Wars?

[Kosh]

Yes, your deck doesnt replenish. Once you've drawn them all, that's it.

[RaySpencer]

Wait a minute... You can run out of cards to draw in Summoner Wars?

Haha, yeah, the good news for you though, is I cant roll the dice for shit in our game, and I also just took 2HP of my summoner so that I could summon....NOTHING ! yay!

[kennah]

I saw that. Thought it was hilarious :)

We're you trying to scare the other player? If I can do this to myself, what do you think I can do to you?! :-p

I thought you played well the other game. Did you freeze my lioneer in the beginning? Math dictates I kill him myself (1 magic point gain vs 2 lose) Freezing commons is usually a bad idea.

PS Surrounding Khan (Splinter) is a bad idea:-)

[bonesquad]

What do you guys do in a game where you get your champs in hand really early, and dont have the magic to summon them?

Good question. Yesterday I started with 2, and drew the third my second draw. Grrr. I tried burying actions I wouldn't otherwise (since I also kept drawing those) and killing my own for more magic, but it clearly wasn't the right path:)

[RaySpencer]

I saw that. Thought it was hilarious :)

I also wasted a turn after summoning Legion summoning 3 guys, and didnt attack with 2 of them, haha. You played really well in our game, and I played REALLY poorly. It was still loads of fun to try to get myself out of a shitty situation all game, haha.

Naw, wasnt me! I dont freeze anything that isnt a Summoner or Champ, and 90% of the time I will do a summoner over anything else.

Drop one right away and use your commons to win. I usually have 1 low cost champ in my decks for such a occasion. Khan Queso is amazing!

If you are playing with the orcs, don't drop Krung or Bragg.

Yeah, my real big issue in that particular game, was that I had Krung, Bragg and Ragnor, a freeze and I think an Ice Wall, haha.


I had maybe 1 or 2 magic at the time, I SHOULD have dropped Ragnor I guess ( I think I might have eventually, I dont remember), I think I blew a freeze and ice wall, but with no Bragg out, and you with stacks of magic as per usual my freeze wouldnt do much, and I dropped the Ice Wall right by your Gorilla to stop him from coming and crushing my Summoner.


I dunno, it was just like the worst set of dudes I had ever had so early in a match, haha. I dont play Frost Tundra Orcs (I keep calling them Frost Orcs) much though, so at least that exact thing wont happen to me again for a while, haha.

I would've freeze the summoner and drop the ice wall for magic. Cull 4 units and next turn Ragnor would be out. If you get freezes next turn, play defensive for 1 more and try to Bragg out. i think people try to play too fast with the Tundra Orcs. The thing is they are the best defensive faction in the game. Take advantage of it. They should advance slowly and unlike the Jungle Elves and the Cave Goblins. Of this is my way of playing, YMMV. :-)

Edit: Splinter did awesome in our last match. I think he ended up with 8 wounds+ in total. Splinter plus haste is crazy.

[AstroLad]

I really wish Summoner Wars tabletop had a big pack of all the iOS factions (instead you have to buy them individually or in packs of two, and many are out of print right now). If you don't know they have a "Master Set" that has a board and six new factions not in iOS, but man it would be great to own every faction because the Master Set factions are absolutely awesome. Gonna be megaton when they drop on iOS.

Is Filth OP or something? Our favorites (just in terms of fun more so than anything) from the Master Set are Shadow Elves, Benders, and Swamp Orcs.

Nope, just the most fun and creative deck out of all of them. The Filth revolves around a new type of unit called Mutations. Basically, you summon it on top of any common unit and it turns into a new monster. You can switch out mutations and pay the difference in summoning cost. Basically, shit is crazy

[AstroLad]

Swamp Orcs are pretty cool with their army of Vine Walls. Mountain Vargath (goats) win the title of most boring with just very basic abilities. Still fun though and it's awesome to see how the factions are all so distinct. I kind of dig Sand Goblins too, whose Summoner and events are basically based around keeping people at bay with Sandstorm and Camouflage.

Did you see the new filth units?







I think they will actually make the filth top tier and even more fun. My current understanding is they are actually mid-low tier.

Yeah I love the shadow elves and the uhhh forget what they are called but they are super aggressive.

I can't wait for jungle elves and fallen kingdom to get reprinted.

Anyone try the mercenary faction yet?

[blackflag]

Damn that spellsucker mutant is dope

[AstroLad]

Is Mercs a real faction or just supposed to be integrated into existing factions? Do they have a Summoner?

[Hereafter]

His ability sounds awesome.



Good game Astrolad. I took that last gambit and it worked out. Gorillas FTW!

[tm24]

Is Mercs a real faction or just supposed to be integrated into existing factions? Do they have a Summoner?

Yeah they do. The actual merc faction has some fun in that a lot of units have toned down abilities from other factions champions

[bonesquad]

Why did they name a faction Mercenaries and have mercenaries? Just to confuse people? :)

I was hesitant to bury any of my champs because I was playing as the Dwarves who seem to be champ dependent (I've only played them twice).

I still hate playing against the tundra orcs the most. Between extra walls, that wall shard action, units that can keep attacking and moving, units that take no hits unless you roll a hit on every die, krung, and of course freeze cards. So annoying!

That's why Baldur is so good. You should have 4 magic by the second or third turn. Who were you playing against?

[bonesquad]

I was playing against the tundra orcs. Who managed to freeze Baldur right when I got him out making me waste 2 magic I didn't have to spare. I never said I was any good at this game:)

Side note, I didn't like Outwitters (I hate fog of war), but the ability to replay matches was cool. SW needs that. It might help me learn a thing or two.

[Gatekeeper]

Wait when are these coming out? What did I miss?

Not anytime soon, we just got excited over the physical cards that will eventually be in iOS form

[Got the Shakes]

CARCASSONNE Where are we with the following games? InaudibleWhispa vs Smiley90 soldat7 vs Got the Shakes Octobot vs eznark Sorry if I missed any results, was on vacation for the last week or so.

Sorry I was gone all weekend at a friends wedding. We've been playing out game for the past week. Seems like a handful of turns per day. Hope to wrap it up soon.

Good luck, men!

When you customize SW decks, can you customize the event cards as well? If so, how?

[AstroLad]

When you customize SW decks, can you customize the event cards as well? If so, how?

No, every Summoner has a starting setup (specific units & placement) and set of event cards that go with him. Some factions depend more on events than others.

OK, that's what I figured. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some option somewhere.


And BTW, your wall events are brutal! :lol
