Ever tried to browse the AppStore looking for board games? Did it leave you feeling frustrated? Questioned the validity of reviewer comments? Well, here's the GeekList for you. It's a collection of board games that have been ported to iOS, excluding knock-offs and clones.
There are five criteria I'm using for this list:
Games must be currently available in the U.S. App Store.
Games must be officially licensed versions of the physical games. Clones and knock-offs need not apply.
They must be board or card games (i.e., no RPGs, randomizers, CCGs, etc.)
No public domain games. I'd like the list to be comprehensive, but there is no way I could (or would want to) cover every chess or mahjong app out there.
I must know about the game 
If I missed one - leave a comment, or drop me a GeekMail.
All of the games that appear in this list are wishlisted in an appshopper account that you can follow here. Feel free to subscribe, and you'll be notified of price drops. Handy-dandy!
Some notes on the list
iPhone and iPod Touch will be used interchangeably
IAP = In-App Purchase
I'll use U.S. Dollars, and the U.S. date format throughout. Apologies to international geeks. I do promise not to use the imperial measurement system. Ever.
Please leave comments or questions and be sure to rate the apps you've played
With the volume of new app releases, it has become difficult to keep this GeekList up-to-date. Thus, I will open the list to additions from everyone. To enable efficient curation, I'm likely to give you a GG tip, delete your item and re-enter it myself. Thanks.
For two years running, I've compiled the ratings from this list and presented the most highly rated game apps:
2015 Best-Of
2014 Best-Of
Please continue to rate the games using the polls in each entry, and I'll keep making these lists.
