Create a game and give it a password, give your friends the password.

I see, thanks.
Certainly doable but I wish I could invite, letā€™s say, some of you and then, being async, people could accept a game when and if they fancy it, without needing to alert people in advance.
Seems a weird choice.

The app is really polished.
Not a fan of the art, but itā€™s really really well done.

I created a 4 player normal game for the ones interested.

Pittaā€™s game.
PSW: begentle

Are all the slots filled or did it drop off the server? I donā€™t see it.

They are all filled, game started yesterday sorry.
Probably my mistake (3 places instead of 4, I messed up).

Sorry! Wonā€™t happen again!

All good :grinning:. I realistically donā€™t need another game atm but so hard to say no.

It looks like this game ended? I see a View Results button, but when I hit it, the game cycles for a moment and then puts me back on the active game list.

GG, @kennfusion I was able to see the full replay. Was daring and close in many ways. But I did not press the Continue button, I just closed the app to background. :man_shrugging:

Ahhh, I knew it was going to be close, I had 3 cards giving me bonus points at the end and a win tie-breaker card. Thanks for grabbing this.

Yeah, I thought I had it, but didnā€™t expect the 3 points of endgame scoringā€¦ Letā€™s go again now the I know most of the rules, and how many points the game goes to!

Happy to go again.

Iā€™ve created a new game password ā€œsp1ā€.

Have to admit Clank! took me off guard.
It was ages since I liked a deck builder so much.
Fast turns, easy to learn, small-ish deck, but tons of possibilities and variability.
Itā€™s the dungeon crawler - deck builder blend I never knew I needed.

App is super solid and consumes zero battery (also a plus).

Itā€™s the first game that took away from Star Wars Outlaws (which I completed like 50 hours ago in over 160 hours total and I canā€™t stop playing anyway), it did what no StarField exapnsion or Black Ops 6 managed to do.

Thanks for the report on battery drain! More reviews should include this info. I hate when I play a game - especially a board game - and it drops my battery 15% before breakfast.

Sadly, Clank! and Wingspan are two games I never want to play on my iPad, for fear of getting too good for my kids to have any fun playing against me on a table. I think Iā€™ve already ruined myself for playing Dune: Imperium, and Iā€™m not even that good at that one.

Totally worth it, though. They werenā€™t likely to play that one with me, anyway.

Thatā€™s something that bothers me as well.
One of the first things one should mention in a mobile game review should beā€¦.battery drain.
Itā€™s a mobile phone!!!

Iā€™m expecting to have my iPhone dead after playing 2 hours of a AAA console game on it (something that do not make any sense to me but maybe itā€™s just me).
But if Iā€™m playing a card game or a boardgame Iā€™m expecting battery drain to be negligible.

Despite the board being 3D parallax and the tons of (very cool) animations, Clank! Seems light on battery drain so far, as it should be for these kind of games imho.
So I can play them non stop whenever I can and taking turns like there was no tomorrow, actually draining said battery :slight_smile:

I immensely enjoyed last Clank! game, so I started a new one.
4 slots, no mistakes (hopefully)!

Pittaā€™s game

Password is: splay

Created another game (same name and psw) because yesterday one disappeared (maybe there is a timer of 24 hours needed to start the game).
