I still play Strategery a bunch, a kinda old, very stripped down hexy Risk-ish war game.

Steam's offering GreedCorp to me on a PC game list.

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."

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)!

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

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

Monsters Ate My Condo is ruining my life. I got 1,635,117,527 on my first game and haven't come close since.

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?

― catbus otm (gbx), Friday, 24 February 2012 14:54 (twelve years ago) link
do u have upgraded version
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Friday, 24 February 2012 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
pro? yes
― catbus otm (gbx), Friday, 24 February 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
also, how come sometimes hitting 50/100 reduces your score back to 0/50, but sometimes it doesn't?
― Mordy, Friday, 24 February 2012 15:00 (twelve years ago) link
I was wondering the same thing! I even cagily copped a 150 on purpose after seeing a comp opponent get -50 from that and was hella confused when my gambit didn't work
― catbus otm (gbx), Friday, 24 February 2012 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
weird i've only ever see it do it!
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Friday, 24 February 2012 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
yeah like how would you get one on purpose? you can't arrange to have the right score in yr hand when someone YANIVs.
― ledge, Friday, 24 February 2012 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
Ok so I read the rules and it's 100 and 200 in single player and 50/100 online. No idea why I thought 150 would work
xp u totally can dogg
― catbus otm (gbx), Friday, 24 February 2012 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
but you have to swap a card every move! explain!
― ledge, Friday, 24 February 2012 16:13 (twelve years ago) link
o i suppose you could pick one up from the pile if the right one's there. still have to get lucky tho.
the discard pile that is
eg player to my right had one card left, swapped it for the discard pile so I knew what it was, and that it was low enough to win. I had intentionally played my hand to try and get 150 why becuase proof of concepts. and lo he had dropped a card that I could use to get the hand I wanted (16 in this case). picked it up, third dude played, and then the other guy yaniv'd as I had anticipated. I reached 150 but obv no bonus because duh I got the rules wrong
― catbus otm (gbx), Friday, 24 February 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago) link
it's not something to depend upon, but sometimes you can nudge it towards working (esp if you're shooting for it, you can do a little math to see what cards you can swap from your hand to make the right value)
― Mordy, Friday, 24 February 2012 16:28 (twelve years ago) link
