Attorney and fellow BGGer, Ben Stanley (user: Blue Steel) has released the iOS implementation of his board game Alchemy. Ben is also the designer of the previously released (Dec 2010) Tribal Dice. Alchemy is a combinatorial game in which you play one of two dueling alchemists manipulating the elements of earth, water, air, fire, and destruction.
• Jenga for iOS to get Asynchronous Online Multiplayer - Feb 13
When I first heard that NaturalMotion Games had brought Jenga to iOS, I had to laugh. I'm certainly not a fan of the wood version. Yet the iOS implementation of this game is very well done and radiates a kind of zen-like feel to me.
Still though, I don't play it that much. Recently, however, NaturalMotion games announced that they will bring Asynchronous Online Multiplayer to their app of this widely recognized party game. I believe an async feature may give me a new reason to open this app again in the next few weeks. Now if I can only convince my iOS buddies to buy it as well.
