    To get my boardgame fix lately ,I have been playing a lot Lords of Waterdeep and Star Realms on the Ipad.Also got a copy of Talisman and Agricola.There seems to be a lot of new releases in the pipeline this year.
    Is anyone else playing any good IOS boardgames?.

    Are these any use as solo plays? Or do you play online or pass and play? Or what?

    The AI on Star Realms puts up a reasonable fight at Medium or Hard. Online against others is where it's at though.

    IMO Star realms and Lords of waterdeep are great as solo play.In waterdeep you can pick the number of AI players and their skill level.
    Only played one game of Agricola and a few turns of Tailisman ,but both look good.
    I see twilight struggle is in the pipeline.:D

    The IOS version of Ticket To Ride is quite good.

    Picked up Ghost Stories a while back for the ipad.I have played about 20+ games and have yet to win a game.:(
    Hope to play the boardgame in the next week or so.Hopefully I will have better luck with live players.

    Doubtful, this thing is hard as nails. Good fun though. Just pray you don't get the Hope Killer for the incarnation of Wu Feng, if and when you get that far :)

    No - played it maybe fifteen times, won 2 or 3, at the easiest settting. I do like a challenge though, and the card illustrations are so good...

    .

    Finally won my first game of ghost stories on the iPad.It took over 25 games and a online strategy video .................but damn it feels good. :D
    I have yet to win playing the boardgame ,but I have only played 3 games so far.
    A really addictive game IMO.
