clearly some ppl are better at this than other ppl, so there's some skill involved and not just luck, but it's hard to figure out what i'm doing wrong when i trade a card worth 10 in 4x and keep getting other 10 value cards back

how did I win that

slapdowns yo
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Sunday, 12 February 2012 07:12 (twelve years ago) link
or whatever its called
eh, what are these slapdowns of which u speak? when i click on the info button nxt to it, it leads to a pic that's cut halfway through and a video that i can't seem to be able to watch.also really pissed off cos i bought the pro version to play online and then realised that i'm back to an iphone 3g so no game center = no online play. :(
― Jibe, Sunday, 12 February 2012 08:09 (twelve years ago) link
you don't need pro to play online
― john terje (cozen), Sunday, 12 February 2012 09:11 (twelve years ago) link
lol, stupid me. basically i didn't have any "play online" thing so i thought i had to have pro. whereas it turns out i can nvr play online cos i don't have game center compatibility. anyone know if there's a legit reason why game center isn't available on iphone 3g or is it just one thing to make me feel like i shd upgrade?

but it's hard to figure out what i'm doing wrong when i trade a card worth 10 in 4x and keep getting other 10 value cards back
infuriatingly otm.
also i was down to the last two with a lot of ground to catch up, got four yanivs in a row which never happens, then on the fifth which would've got me the crown, the bastard assafed me and won instead.
itt yr 'exciting' yaniv stories.

i bought the full version of yaniv and ticket to ride. I'm josephcotten on gamecenter.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:12 (twelve years ago) link
I love ticket to ride but it really doesn't suit asynch multiplayer. Getting most fun from single player against the cpu really.
― JimD, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
ticket to ride looks great but the screen seems soooo small for a game like that. want ipad version.
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
is it even available for iphone? i thought it was ipad only.
― tmi but (Z S), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
i'd check myself but all game-related content is blocked at work :(
... but i can still do google searches. and it is! sorry, stream of conscience thing here
― tmi but (Z S), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
im digging it
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
its like JAZZ
yeah, jim otm - asynch just slows it right down. the fun of ttr is that it's fairly fast-paced, even with 4 or 5
works fine on the small screen once you get used to it; better on ipad of course.

GTAIII is 99 cents this weekend.
Also enjoying Puzzlejuice and Radballs, but the aesthetics of the latter are actually more the point than the gameplay

Chinatown Wars is US$0.99 too

Yaniv feels pretty luck-based, the number of offensive options you have is pretty limited... am I wrong?
― Nhex, Saturday, 18 February 2012 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
It's a card game. Of course it's luck based.
That said, sometimes the best thing you can do is trade small cards for big cards that help you make a straight, and sometimes it's good to spend a joker to help get rid of cards. And also, pay attention to what cards your opponents are drawing.

hate YANIV
10s ALWAYS swapped for J K Q
great thanks YANIV

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...
― I have one thing to say: "Roxanne Shanté" (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 19 February 2012 02:00 (twelve years ago) link
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.'
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Sunday, 19 February 2012 06:41 (twelve years ago) link
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.
