We returned from a successful Essen fair, having played lots of games, viewed even more, and bought a couple. Look here for the complete story: Suzan’s BoardGameGeek Geeklist.

This is what we came home with:

Of course we were walking around in our not-to-miss Board Game Stats polo shirts:

 

Do you play Board Games? We do, and needed a simple tool to record our scores, and also show statistics on our plays, scores, games and how well we do against other players.

Therefore, we created the app Board Game Stats, which is now available on the App Store.

Features include

• Enter Games and set an image and scoring rules
• Set Players and Locations
• Enter your plays including location and scores per player
• Calculate scores on the fly
• Create teams and enter team scores
• Search games on BoardGameGeek to load more details and a game image
• View statistics for Games, Plays, and Players
• View statistics for a specific combination of players
• Export and import scores for easy backup and transfer
• All in a native iOS interface

Ken je de iTunes kaarten die je bij veel verschillende winkels kunt krijgen? Ze zijn niet alleen leuk als cadeau, maar ook erg leuk om voor jezelf te kopen.

Waarom? Omdat er vaak aanbiedingen zijn waarmee je ze met korting kunt kopen. Ze vertegenwoordigen echter wel altijd de volledige waarde in iTunes of de Apple App store voor je iPhone, iPad of Mac. Op die manier koop je effectief alles uit de store met korting!

Er zijn veel verschillende winkels (meestal niet online) die regelmatig korting geven tussen de 15% en 20%. Eenmaal hebben we een actie gezien van 25% korting, die was precies één dag geldig. De meeste acties lopen een week en gelden vaak voor specifieke kaart-waardes of bij aankoop van meerdere kaarten.

Welke acties nu geldig zijn en binnenkort komen kun je zien op iTunes kaart aanbiedingen. Deze werken we regelmatig bij!

Door na het kopen je kaart in te wisselen in de online store krijg je een tegoed ten waarde van de kaart, die je in zoveel kleine uitgaven kunt besteden als je wilt. Je hoeft dus zeker niet het hele bedrag ineens te besteden.
Veel plezier!
