Hey there.

Just got an iPad and was wondering if there were some recommended apps for Boardgame utilities or play aids. Such as timers, score pads, or anything else that comes to mind. I am quite an iN00b so I look forward to any recommendations folks might have.

Lots of good boardgames...I play a lot of Tichu, Carcassone and Ascension on my iPhone.

I've heard Suburbia has a great iPad App.

There is also a pseudo-Space Alert app that requires all the players to have an iPad/iPhone and to have the app on their devices. They can then play 'Space Alert' when they are f2f. Apparently, it works really well. It is called SpaceTeam. See below:

Might have to give that a try.

SmallWorld, Agricola and Puerto Rico all play pretty well on iPad. I have a Dominion and Agricola scoring app and a few dice rolling apps if you need a specific die you are missing or lost

Ok, I have had an iPad for almost 2 years now. Here are some of my fave games:

Kingdom Builder
Ticket To Ride
Can't Stop
Carcassonne
San Juan

I have a few others that I have not played enough to rate.

The Lords of Waterdeep app for iPhone/iPad is very user friendly and well presented. I've logged over 100 games online on it in the last few months.

Just got mine a few weeks ago. I've been playing:

Penny Arcade: Gamers vs. Evil
Ascension (with all the expansions)
Lords of Waterdeep
Carcassonne (with a couple expansions... the AI in this game is EVIL)
Agricola

I'd consider getting ticket to ride and/or small world, but I already have them on my pc so... maybe.

Eclipse looks really good on iPad. Makes me wish I had one, or that they'd port it to iPhone.

They just released Hearthstone on iPad.
I hope the iPhone will get a version of it...
