iOS turn based gaming

There are so many iOS turn based games you can play against friends & randoms. You are spoiled for choice from board games & word games to quiz & drawing.

Thus I have decided to say farewall to a few that I have been playing over the last couple of years.

Firstly Wordfeud, it was always the poor cousin to Words with Friends & just never get the recognition it deserved. Letting you play in various languages & also giving you the option of a random board layout.

Next we have a few Zynga with Friends games that people have just stopped playing Hanging with Friends & Scrabble with Friends. Hanging with Friends took the hangman game and gave it a Zynga paintbrush & Scrabble is basically the Boggle board game with a grid of letters you have to make words to get points.

Lastly I say goodbye to Jenga which is a shame but the notification system on it is just broken & the developers no longer seem interested in fixing the issue.

So what am I currently playing?

Carcassonne, Words with Friends, Hero Academy & Disc Drivin will always be on all my iOS devices because they are all excellent examples of turn based gaming.

Others that I am still playing are Draw Something (iPad only), Song Pop (Although I am quickly getting bored of this), Trivie (again annoying because it is tailored to the US market on the question bank) & Friendle (Backgammon only with random players because no-one seems to be playing this anymore).

I have a few others that I am testing with Abbas & trying to figure out how to play them like Bang, Ticket To Ride & Outwitters. Before I decide on keeping or deleting them.

Scramble with Friends - 1808 !!

Previous high score of 1630 was smashed in this game against Neil with very high scoring 2nd & 3rd round for both of us, but I managed to win with a score of 1808.

Next target is to get 1900 points in a game.

Scramble with Friends - New High Score

Only a few days ago I set a new high score of 1287, little was I to know that I would smash that record only a few days later with an amazing score of 1630, a very close win to the match with William playing a very good round 3 a setting a very high score of 722, but I just pipped him thanks to winning the first 2 rounds.

But I think I will even beat this score in a game I am currently playing against Neil, watch this space.

Scramble with Friends - New High Score

Beat my previous score of 1277 by a a little bit to get to 1286. Still can't break into the 1300 barrier.

Does anyone else play this? If so send me an invite.

New Game - Scramble with Friends

Another "with Friends" game released by Zynga this time the game of Scramble (which is basically the boggle board game)

You have three rounds to make as many words as possible in the time limit for each round.

This being a game by Zynga there has to be some in-app purchases & these are the tokens you see at the top of the screen, one is used for every turn you play. You can purchase more if you wish of just wait for the in-game clock to countdown to award you another token. In the free version this is set to 20 minutes or 10 minutes if you go for the ad-free version.

My username is obviously gospvg so send me an invite if you want a game.
