Ok sent... I think. Game Centre is really bad. Didn't confirm anything and there's no section for checking pending requests.

Ste Sun 08 Feb 2015, 11:16

Are GC usernames case sensitive?

Yeah it's complete rubbish - nothing received btw. I'll PM you my email and you can add me direct though Carcassonne, probably the best solution Smile

I now have this too (thanks Paul/Lizzy!) and I expect it will absorb any free seconds I have - I have already bought the Gambit pack.

Any challengers will be swiftly surrendered to whilst I get the hang of playing non-AI!

DaveTheCow in game (as usual)

CHALLENGERS BEWARE!!! I am doing LITERALLY NOTHING for the next couple of days, games will happen and rematches will follow...

Have been playing Eclipse on iPad. It's very good, certainly a good tool for learning the game, and getting a sneaky advantage next time you play against people...

Hi Aneurin, are you on Game Center? I am 'Mr Qwak', if you friend me, I can send a game invite to you ... and then occupy your hexes with my dread-naughts! Shocked

SamVS Wed 01 Apr 2015, 13:56

Jamie Wed 01 Apr 2015, 16:29

I've only played it once myself (as a board game), and a few games on iPad. Really great game though. Smile

**Admin** Wed 01 Apr 2015, 19:02

I'll set up a game tonight once the kids are asleep.

Jon M Sat 13 Jun 2015, 12:40

All this talk of Knizia has got me back on Tigris & Euphrates on the iPad, such a good conversion ! Anybody fancy a game it cam be organised by game centre I'm jonboyat40 if we're not already friends

PaulC Sat 13 Jun 2015, 12:43

I've got both Tigris and Eclipse on the iPad but never played either. Give me chance to figure them out and I'll be able to join in the fun.

Jamie Sat 13 Jun 2015, 13:23

Anyone for iPad Eclipse? Add me on Game Center (mrqwak)

Oh no, sorry to hear it.

The only problem I came across is the GCDS graphic being displayed flipped horizontally. There was also a problem where one of the updates broke the multiplayer mode for me; but the developers were fairly responsive and they did release another update, which fixed that issue.

I've been playing it on an iPad 3, which is a fairly old device now I guess (couple of years).

Must admit, it's a lot more fun playing in person.

**Admin** Tue 16 Jun 2015, 11:08

I'm with Jon - gave up when it nulled out by free actions tokens from the associated techs... bloody annoying...

Jamie Tue 16 Jun 2015, 14:02

With Eclipse iOS, I haven't really played many online games. I use it mostly in single player, it's a good tool for learning the game, and the strengths and weaknesses of the various races. I find it more fun to play in person though. Will try and get another game sorted for one Tuesday, and also, thinking it could be a good Sunday afternoon game at the Red Deer...

Ive been wanting to start playing Chess again for a long while and have found what looks like the ideal place. Social Chess is free (option to upgrade but not neccessary) , looks nice (big chunky grpahics) and is flexible to whether you move all at once or once a day. So if anyones up for a game of kings im registered as jonboy2015

Its fun when you play together

Ste Wed 05 Aug 2015, 10:07

I play a lot of Chess on my phone with the Chess with Friends app. It's cross platform too so you don't have to worry stuff like that. There is a free version but I recommend buying the ad-less version for 69p. Well worth it.

If you get it and want to play my username is Marshy82
