Ah you monster slug-a-thon you |
Titan on the iPad!?! Well that's a kick in the ass then. Crap I was excited when Valley Games acquired the rights to reprint Titan and I then was a little disappointed with the reprint (it was the same problem as with the Fantasy Flight second edition of Game of Thrones, the game board colour scheme was too busy and it impeded game-play.) Now I am excited again because they did a tablet app which is awesome, but I'm again disappointed because it's only available on the iPad and I sold mine. It's really the only regret I have about selling the damn thing.
Still if you have an iPad check out Titan on it because it's a great game and it benefits from computer assistance. It says 2-6 players local or AI which probably means no internet play yet - hopefully they get that in there because that would probably be the best format. The colossus online play java version of Titan is great and really speeds up play so I imagine a tablet app would also. I can see a day when we have giant tablets for boardgames and it makes me mist up. Bring back my Starfleet Battles but on 50' multitouch+ camera enhanced surfaces!!! Any way Titan is a lot of fun. And in this case with (computer assistance) the fancy colour scheme might actually work.
I still think it's a bit busy - classic Titan had such clean lines and colour coding... |
