You know how Ticket to Ride on iOS was a fantastic implementation of the
game, badly let down by the fact that it had no multiplayer support? Well,
it has now just become officially the best thing ever, with Game Centre
integration and asynchronous online play added. If you haven't already got
it, get it. If you have already got it, update it, and let's get some games
going!

I have it! Be good to play it online at last.

Not sure I could take another on-line multiplayer game, I'm getting really
bogged down with the games I have at the moment Disc Drivin, Carcassonne,
Friendle, Wordfued, Words with Friends, Hanging with Friends, Hero Academy,
Scrabble with Friends & Poker Pals.

Currently I have 30 turns to play in all those games, sorry if I'm taking
too long to play my turns I'm really beginning to have enough of these
games.

Drop a few of them. I don't play Hanging anymore. Friendle seems to be
becoming a short lived fad. Backgammon is the only one worth playing
really. Not sure I'm that keen on Hero Academy, not helped by not really
having any idea what the hell is going on most of the time still! Not
played Wordfeud in ages.

You're enjoying them less because you are playing too many of them. I
know that feeling of dread when you turn your iDevice on and see >20
moves to play! I'm glad notifications for Disc Drivin have never worked
otherwise my red number would be much bigger!

Be good to get a 4 player game going at some point if there are any other
takers...

It's the same with everything else.
My son used to read books at the rate of knots, but after he got 12 for
Christmas he's read 3. Better if I had doled them out as-required.

Similarly I find when I'm most overwhelmed by things to do is when I end
up doing least.

Similarly, limiting oneself to, say, £10 game purchases is a foolhardy
enterprise if you end up having lots & not getting much out of them,
whereas one £40 purchase might otherwise have lasted you for months.

Occasional poster SDChowny plays this a lot and would join a game I expect.
