I've figured that with jokers there's really no reason to hang on to them til the end is there? It makes no diff to yr score if you have them or not. Also it took me a game or two to realize that it's v dumb to use jokers to make pairs...

ya you have to be pretty careful with jokers... better to have one in the hand than to drop it for no reason (and give it to the next guy) just to 'get rid of a card.'

i actually find they're useful to make it seem like you have more in the hand and thus ASSAF fools
Oh man, heavy sales still going on. Might buy FIFA 12, too.
Can anybody suggest a good tycoon/econ sim along the likes of what Kairosoft does? I like building and running this little system of something in a phone. SimCity is too clunky.

How about Kairosoft's own Oh! Edo Towns or Mega Mall Story?

Have any of y'all played Hero Academy? It's pretty cool.

I buy all Kairosoft games the minute I see them on the app store, so I've already beaten those.

chocolate tycoon is supposed to be good but I don't like how it looks.

Any old-school hex-grid, turn-based war games out there? Digging up info on the Avalon Hill Starship Troopers game made me feel nostalgic.

^seconding this request. A hex game would totally hit the spot
― tmi but (Z S), Monday, 20 February 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
You guys might like Greed Corp. It is hex based but with a twist.
― polyphonic, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
Oh but it might be ipad only, not sure.
― polyphonic, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
I still play Strategery a bunch, a kinda old, very stripped down hexy Risk-ish war game.
― Euler, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
Steam's offering GreedCorp to me on a PC game list.
― Also unknown as Zora (Surfing At Work), Monday, 20 February 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
For me Greed Corp is a little too fancy and maybe too cartoony. But it appears to be a fairly deep and interesting game. I played through the training mode and was like "hmm, cool, back to Skyrim."
― polyphonic, Monday, 20 February 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
Man, I have zero desire for an iPad except to play games on it
― tmi but (Z S), Monday, 20 February 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
Ironically my iPad goes everywhere with me and I can't find a game I'm interested in.

Big Little War Game is pretty simple compared to AH/SPI fare, and has been described as the iOS version of Advance Wars for the Game Boy. I like it, but will reserve my love for a whomever ports the Combat Mission tactical WWII PC games are ported.

how was it as an irl card game anyway?

Very very fun. It moves quickly, and unlike rummy there is that moment when you think you won but it turns out you didn't. Getting assaffed is fucking brutal.

this looks promising (it's called Great Little War Game, though, in case someone tries to search for it and can't find it)!
― tmi but (Z S), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 00:28 (twelve years ago) link
i tried it a few months ago and immediately found it disagreeable

btw I realize now that I never actually mentioned it on this thread but y'all should at least look at the lite version of Monsters Ate My Condo
it's fucking insane

windup knight and fairway solitaire are both total blasts and free to try.both are puzzle games though they don't appear to be.

i loved fairway solitaire
― Mordy, Thursday, 23 February 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago) link
Monsters Ate My Condo is ruining my life. I got 1,635,117,527 on my first game and haven't come close since.
― "renegade" gnome (remy bean), Thursday, 23 February 2012 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I did a billion plus once and never again. I think I'm just trying to be too cute with my combos. I just need to let go and let it come to me.
― Jeff, Thursday, 23 February 2012 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
i really liked fairway solitaire on the PC but man those last courses pissed me off so much i never wanted to touch it again. did they fix this in the iphone version?
