There's lots of digital versions of board games around. I propose a thread to discuss them and maybe even play some.

Have this news for now: Reiner Knizia's Razzia is free for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id635921293?mt=8

I bought that Humble Bundle (the pay over 12 dollars version)...but haven't downloaded anything from it yet.

Even though they have been out for years the Xbox Live versions of Catan, Carcasonne and Ticket to Ride are pretty good.

And I know probably a bad idea to just post a link to another forum but I found this today on Gaf

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=832942

Which has some options for iOS / Android and PC

I have Carcassone, Neuroshima Hex! and Ticket to Ride for Android.

And Frozen Synapse, which is sort of the same. Shh.

All of the ones I mentioned do (assuming you buy the full version of Hex).

I have Neuroshima Hex (+all the expansions), Dominion, Ascension, Summoner Wars and Nightfall.

All on iOS. All entertaining enough.

A few rounds in on single player and it is pretty good fun. Might get the board game. I will investigate MP.

N hex has local multiplayer, too.

We have a german copy of galaxy trucker, so it has the extra complexity of having to be translated by my wife during play.

It's fun, but not particularly deep.

The board game is great fun and brilliantly unfair to everyone.

What is the scrabble app of choice nowadays? I installed the official ea scrabble game and it is a buggy piece of crap.
