Where can the iOS one be found? It doesn't seem to be at the app shop (which makes sense if it isn't an official port), and while I can find the last unofficial Android port its page didn't seem to mention an iOS version. I googled last night but had to leave before getting far.

Whilst poking around a few weeks ago, I found several mentions of a game called Tanto Cuore (think I spelled that right), which was designed by a fan of Dominion who felt frustrated that he didn't have a mobile version of Dom so he ported the rules over to a new ip.

So yay, I bought it!

The gameplay is certainly... strategic enough. I guess. Production values are very high.

Did I mention the designer is Japanese?

Did I mention the designer was previously known for dating sims?

Have I mentioned yet the concept of the game is to become "The King of Maids", and to collect what amounts to a public and private harem?

I was told the skeevy theme wasn't outright obscene, and this is true. But still, we're talking about a game where you power up each turn by collecting and playing a particular set of cards where one of the underage-looking-maids is caught dry humping a heart shaped pillow. Or two. Or three. (Pillows I mean, not maids.)

So I just decided to wait until a proper port of Dominion (and/or until the current version is bugstomped into shape), and deleted it from the phone.

But if anyone is feeling very desperate this valentine's day...

Sounds like Fortunes of War

Always a good sign for a mobile game

No.

Wait, this is sounding promising

Hey, if you're on a 'droid, Androminion is definitely worth it, now that the v3 UI has been unfuggled

Alas, I'm on iOS not on Android.

Fortunes of War sounds promising though; I'll check into that... CURSES! not on iOS either...

Meanwhile, here is a Starlit Citadel review of the physical card game. The mobile version is just like this but with more, um, sound effects. (Not entirely what you're thinking.)

I just finished an Androminion game where I ended up with all 12 colonies at the end of a 4-player game
