TtR has some of the same Game Center-based notification bugs that can plague Tigris & Euphrates. Generally I opt not to play TtR as an asynchronous game because frankly, it's pretty damn boring. Logging in to draw a card or two isn't very fun. An asynch game should scratch that "turning the mental" gears gaming itch every time I log in.
TtR on the iPad is an entirely different experience though. It's a fantastic live game, and there's critical mass in the community so you can always get a match going. There was a time when I was legitimately hooked on playing live matches and jacking up my ranking.
Yeah, Im not a huge fan of Ticket Pocket. As stated, there is just not *quite* enough to do in each of your turns. It needs to be played much faster, ie. ipad version.
That said, I'm still friggin loving Carcassonne. Every move is important!

I lost yet again to Invader on Heroes Academy. Played the orc race. They're alright. I wonder how a game would play if you could mix and match your races. I think that would be pretty fun even if it might break the game.

If you are liking Hero Academy, just wait until Summoner Wars comes out. It is going to blow you away.
I do like me some Hero Academy.. When is Summoner Wars coming out? I still play Ascension, probably one of the most polished apps ever, and SW is made by the same team right?
Neuroshima Hex will be out for Android within a week. The iOS version is about 2 years old but just got its upgrade to asynch multiplayer and I'm loving it.
Yeah, I think Magic the Gathering is iPad only? June 20th?
Summoner Wars I played for the first time about a month ago. A friend brought over the Master Set and it was pretty freakin' awesome. I really really want to play more.
Lucky if you were able to DL it! Most (including me have been getting error all day). I plan on sitting down with the iPad for a while to play this. I've tried the physical game once and loved it.
Also intend to check out Haggis, which just released, and is supposed to be a fun card game. I know nothing about it, so time to learn.
Whats everyones mobile boardgame collection lookin like? Mines sort of ridiculous and constantly growing: Ticket to Ride Bang! Catan T&E Dominion Carcassonne Bohnanza War of the Roses (Rosenkonig) Caylus Neuroshima Hex Tikal Medici Titan Ascension Yggdrasil Summoner Wars Splut! Nightfall
Those are the ones I have installed on my iPad and have physical versions in the really world.
Most of the ones on your list plus: Zooloretto Roll Through the Ages Dixit Wabash Cannonball (Chicago Express) Money Battleline Small World (iPad only) Ra
I also plan to pick up Le Havre for the iPad when I have time to sit down and learn it.
Bought Neuroshima Hex after Pete taught me how to play at CTCon. iOS version is identical to Android version. Also, I have determined that red always beats green
EDIT: Green team is just awful. Even though some of its units are cool, they are so few of them that it is at a serious disadvantage.

I win with Green fairly often. You have to be very mindful of which units get the base bonus. Getting that extra action is clutch, especially with the 2 damage ranged unit. And the mobile armor is your game changer.

Any iphone users, or consistent players want to get a game going?
Inns + Catherdrals, preferably if you can make multiple moves per day

Also, my boardgaming roommate moved out, so I'm sad.
Le Havre submitted to iOS App Store! Hope it doesn't suck.

Get on that shit ASAP.

Turn based, 4 play co-op dungeon crawler. Anyone want to fire up a team to try it out?
If it's terrible, or has pacing issues, we can just bail.
I will have my vengeance!

MTG - Duels of the Plainswalkers.
If you want to play some MTG without all the real world BS then this is your game.
