Nice text but I think that your language can’t be understood by noobs… Maybe make notes more understandable?

These are basically “AmeriTrash” games. Where are the excellent Euro-Strategy Board games like Small World, Settlers of Catan, Roll Through the Ages, Carcassonne, etc. Euro Board Games are a light-world ahead of American board games (with a very few exceptions). Thus, the best conversions to the iPhone are the Euro Game conversions, not the conversions of the typical mass-market American games (“AmeriTrash”).

If you’re still looking for Mille Bornes on the iPhone/iPad check out Milliarium, it’s very authentic: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/milliarium/id362845994?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D6

Really? These are ‘must’ have board games? These are just the crap board games Walmart sells in iPhone form. Let me know when some real board games show up on the app store.

I’m personally a fan of Xeno Sola. Plays a lot like Carcassonne, and there’s no Carcassonne for the iPhone!

@Kevin, @heathsnow, If you like Lux, you will find another game called “conquest” which I much prefer. Just seems to play nicer – Its a Risk Style game too.

My problemw ith Scrabble is that I am not a dictionary. The computer AI on any level picks from any word in the dictionary, ANY. That means they can play very obscure words that you never even dreamed of, and score mightily high. When playing with friends, you can at least be somewhat sure of having near similar intelligence levels. With the Scrabble app, you are at the mercy of a computer randomly picking words from a dictionary that fit the tiles. It’s not really a fair match. Just imagine if I knew EVER word in the dictionary and you knew half. While it can all come down to luck oft he draw, the odds are highly in my favor that I will find more words, and more higher scoring words.

My wife and I used to love to play a game of Trivial Pursuit on our iPhones. Until the 3.0 update, that is. Since then, WiFi multiplayer is buggy at best – unplayable at worst. Sometimes I don’t see her question or vice versa. Sometimes the rolling dice just spins on the screen forever and the game crashes. I could see this with a free app and/or one from a small developer – but EA? Come on! How about an update (of which there has never been one) EA?

Words with Friends ( http://www.dartfirststate.com/information/routes/pages/rt303.shtml ) is much better than Scrabble

Agreed Rich….I love Mille Borne. The app plays a decent game but looks awful and the UI is poor too

I’d love to see Mille Bornes created for the iPhone (the currently available Mille Bornes clone looks horrible). And yes, I realize that it’s not a board game, but neither is Uno.

With all of the games available on the iTunes store, you chose 4 from EA mobile? Bleh.

A couple I have really grown to like:

Morocco - a free Othello clone. Fantastic game with decent AI.

Strategery - I can't stop playing this... similar to Dice Wars or Risk. Very fast, very fun and can be extremely challenging on the harder levels.

I love monopoly on my iPhone, I would like scrabble and life but a little too expensive.

@Kevin I enjoy the paid version. Europe is a fun map, plus you can DL more maps through the game interface. Worth it imo

I like Kolonists. Agreed it is not completely the same as the boardgame but I realy like the way they achieved the game without dice.

What, no Lux Dlx (Risk)? I’m very addicted to this game. The trick is to turn off the army pics so you just have the numbers. If you’re a fan of Risk you’ll love it

By: Kevin

Kevin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:28:04 +0000

Personally, I’m a big fan of Lux Touch, the Risk-like board game. I haven’t downloaded the full version yet, but the free version is awesome and a blast to play…

Scrabble is terrible. The dictionary is pitiful and does not accept many very basic, absolutely valid, words. It’s unusable.

And before anyone says it… UNO is in the board game section of the App Store.
