Is there an app for that?

I dunno Matt, the cards have really fallen my way in our games. In fact, I've noticed a couple of things about my playstyle. I think I'm pretty good when the cards I've been successful with show up and I can create a hand with which I'm comfortable, but when my favorite cards don't show up I seem to really flounder. I don't know what to do when the center row features a couple of 5+ baddies and some purchasable cards that don't let you draw a card or eliminate something in your hand. I tend to buy what's available and if it also isn't a construct, my hand gets bloated and I lose. I'm starting to think that those are the situations where I need to either buy Heavy Infantry or simply pass. I just hate leaving points on the table.

Don't forget that sometimes it is in your best interests not to purchase something.

This is true... I often forget about it though. I also often try and scoop the banish cards to thin out the weaker stuff, but if I'm late to the party I try and grab something else, which I don't have to, but oddly still do.

I know double posting is a no-no, but I thought I'd share some cool finds that support online play. I picked up Dominion for free and iStrategia (Stratego) for a mere dollar. If anyone has those games or plans to pick them up, I'd be happy to play some matches...

Also, if anyone has any games they'd recommend for multiplayer (online matches), let me know.

As I mentioned in post #4 in this thread: Disc Drivin' and Carcassonne.

I feel like a dope... I completely forgot about the recommendations people made earlier. stupid, stupid, stupid...

When is chat coming for Ascension...? That would be such a good addition...

BTW, thanks for all the good games... Out of 26 games I'm 14-12... I can't see that ratio lasting..

Nightfall is now available if anyone is interested or familiar with the game. It was made by Playdek (makers of Ascension app). It supports multiplayer matches as well. I purchased the game if anyone wants to play.

I bought it, but I've never played Nightfall, haven't opened the app yet, and I know that there are color-based icons that may wreak havoc with my color blindness. So first I'll need to learn how to play.

Too bad Nightfall didn't support chat, because I could've wrote the colors for you based on your hand. The rules are fairly simple to learn, but if you have any questions, let me know as I'm quite familiar with the game.

It's is in the works for all the Playdek apps. Better to do it right slowly than wrong quickly.

For those you who have the Neuroshima Hex App, an update released today enables online multiplayer matches for the game. If anyone has the game and is interested in playing, let me know and I can send you my email.

Apparently you need to know your opponent's email address to send an invite, instead of the typical Game Center method.
