Title: New World Colony (iPad/iPhone)
Post by: ancientcampus on March 22, 2013, 04:38:25 pm
I'm addicted to this game. It's somewhat like Settlers of Catan, with the following changes:

Big differences:
You steadily score victory points. First to X victory points wins.
You can spend victory points to capture territory form opponents
"Real-time" play, where all players act at once and turns advance every ~5-10 seconds (makes for frantic play, and a VERY different experience)

Other stats:
Online and local play
2-4 players
AI players (make for quick games)

$2 in App Store

I love real-time games, so I may have to try this one out.

Have you heard of Tempest Chess?

In short, it is Chess without turns.  You just move pieces.  However, each piece has a cool down timer, so after you move it you can't move it again for a little while.

Huh. I actually play Chess competitively (but have been on a hiatus) and have never tried this version out. I'll try have to try it out!
