iPad friendly

Post by Smoochie1 »

It seems a few of the games such as coloretto and Jaipur are "iPad friendly" - could you post a list of all the ones that are? That way we won't mess folks up when we try them. Thanks!

I realize I am responding to an old post, but it makes more sense than just posting the same thing again.

BGA admins have made it clear that they do not intend to develop for tablets. Okay, that is their decision. So perhaps the best thing is for the users to simply test the games on BGA and list here which ones work on tablets.

I have played these games successfully on an iPad:
Jaipur
Can't Stop
6 Nimmt

These games definitely did not work on an iPad:
Seasons

That is all I have tied so far on my iPad. Games that only require users to click on objects seem to work the best. Games in which users hover their mouse pointer over cards or dice to read them, or need to click and drag objects, do not work well (or at all) for me on the iPad.

I will post as I try other games, and I encourage other users to post results of their own tests.

Why is bga anti tablet? The games I've played are 90% of the way there. I've played tokaido , takenoko, Jaipur, quantum, battle sheep... Most of those worked great with only a few problems.

I am not a BGA administrator, so this is not official. However, from what I have seen, it is not that BGA is anti tablet. It is that making BGA pro-tablet is a low priority.
