When morale is low, fish to the rescue!

This is one of the many temporary tiles made for our worker placement board game currently in final testing.

Soon I’m off to Spiel.

That is amazing considering the age of the App Store. But why limit these games to the iDevice? What if Apple updated the Apple TV with full wireless connectivity from an iPhone or iPod Touch (image, user input)?

The iDevice already functions as a game controller (eg. Zooz and Tomokewh), so if the games themselves were running directly on the Apple TV – the game system could be complete. This would be yet another reason for multiple iPod touches in a single household.

All the players with an iDevice could participate in scrabble, with all their own pieces on their own screen and the full board on the 42″ Full HD television set. Same with card games, the shared deck on the big screen and each players individual cards on the iDevice. Perfect! Maybe even Agricola could work, with all your own cards on the iDevice and maybe even online play.
