The Board Game, 'Agricola'

I've never heard of its name (though it's quite famous among board game players) and I was just sick and tired of its settings to start it. So, I really didn't want to play it at the first time. But my colleague loves it so I should have played even 3 times! But... I began to enjoy it!! I could understand its complicated rules finally.

The game story is based on German farms in 17th century. The couples who own small house and land feed cattle, cultivate crops, expand a house and increase their family. To win the game, you should choose which one you will focus on. But your co-players's decision affect on yours so Do not enjoy it, just think, think think, think!!

I'm quite accustomed to it but still its complicated settings bother me!! You even must set things for next round whenever each round ends!! I think if it's conversed to online game or a smartphone game, all the annoying things will be gone!! So, Agricola!! Please!!!

Awesome Board Games in iPhone

Life, Blue Marble, Monopoly... Do they remind you good memories in childhood? Want to play them again? But they are quite expensive now and even hard to find where to buy. So, why don't you get them in appstore? In addition to them, you also can find another good board games like below.

1. TTR Pocket

It is the game linking the railways between city to city. You can choose the railways you want then collect train cards to link railways one by one. Multi-play on wi-fi and network are available.

There are lots of variables in this game so that there is no certain must-win strategy. That's the point in this game. Even though you are the beginner for this game, you may beat the veteran player.


2. Scotland Yard

It is based on Hide-and-seek. Up to 5 detectives chase 1 thief(a.k.a. Mr.X) using taxi, subway or tram. However, the number of using each transportation is limited so that each detective should consider it very carefully not to be stuck in the end of the game. There are not only basic transportation but also special movement like '2X' and 'Disappear' for Mr.X to avoid from detectives.

Only detectives are visible. Instead, detectives can see what transportation Mr.X uses each turn. And Mr.X shows himself only on 3, 8, 13 and 18th movement so detectives must take the chance. On the other hand, Mr.X should turn this disadvantage around.

You can choose yourself as Mr.X or one of the detectives at first and you may like both modes. Like TTR, blue-tooth or network is available but playing by yourself is also very interesting.

Dynamite Jack : iPhone Game

Dynamite Jack is the game finding the exit by depending only on flashlight hiding from securities in the dark maze.

Seeing above, you should escape from securities' flashlights not to be a food for powder. But because the maze is complicated and the control on touch screen is not easy, you are caught to be dead absurdly. And that's why you might feel this is not easy.

Running away here and there, you can get a dynamite. Then, you can set it everywhere and can blow it anytime. But you should find the retreat because securities come in crowd once it's blown.

It reminded you 'Bomberman'? Me, too!
