iOS / app versions

Hi all!  Much as I love the online games we play via Yucata, BSW, and other locations, I also really enjoy playing a few games using the iOS versions on my iPhone or iPad.  The main difference for me, aside from the additional polish that many of the iOS games have, is that I can play anytime, anywhere. Waiting for a really slow elevator?  Just enough time to place a tile in Carcassonne! Slow checkout line? Great chance to select some trains in TTR.  Etc.  I've only got iOS versions, but many of these games also have android apps, and some have PC / web-based versions (TTR, I think).  So, I figured I'd list the iOS games I play that support asynchronous or real-time internet play here in the hopes I'm not the only one!  Please reply with your games too and maybe we can coordinate something! Or if you want a review of any, let me know!

My games currently are:

  • Carcassonne
  • Ticket to Ride
  • Nightfall
  • Ascension
  • Neuroshima Hex
  • Hive
  • Caylus
  • Le Havre
  • Summoner Wars
I'm also using the Facebook version of Thunderstone in the hopes of transferring to iOS as soon as it is available.  And I'll be getting Dominion the second it is out.

Hope to see some replies!

[Update: Added Caylus to the list. And Le Havre. And Summoner wards]

I am boot-strap (note the hyphen) in Apple's game center. I have Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Neuroshima Hex, Caylus and Tichu (and tohers I have probably forgotten).

And I can't spell...

I also now have Ascension - which looks like it is quite good. Another Dominion-esque game moved to a fantasy world so different mechanics can be used. I might have to pick up a physical copy.
