    Try Disc Drivin'. Still by far the best one imo. Huge community here for the game including admins/mods.

    Honestly how can you have an asynchrous list without the two big hitters:

    Carcassone and Ascension?

    Well with the ones mentioned here, don't think there are too many more.

    Also games that should be Asynchronous- Final Fantasy Tactics!!

    Isnt starbase orion async as well? I keep looking at that game but the price tag is a bit steep if it still doesn't have a big community.

    - Befuddled Together

    These look like they do async but I haven't verified:
    - Wordsworth
    - Lead Wars

    I can confirm that Lead Wars is async, as I've played a couple of matches. A few others for the list:

    Friendle - Fairly nice app with 7 games: Scrabble (unofficial clone version, of course), chess, checkers, Connect-Four, Reversi, backgammon, Chinese Checkers.

    Mancala:FS5

    Dice with Buddies - A Yahtzee clone.

    Dominion - Risk clone.

    New World Colony - Well done resource management / war game.

    Tigris and Euphrates

    Battleline

    Generals

    Strategery

    I think Medieval Battlefields is async, but I've never tried multiplayer so I'm not 100% sure on that one.

    General Asynch question for the group. This sort of seems like the place to ask this question?

    I have an ipod touch, my son has an ipod touch. I put my apple ID on both machines, so we could download all the games on both devices without buying them twice. The problem is, my gamecenter ID is attached to my apple ID, so I can't play asynchronous games with my son that go through gamecenter (i.e. Carcassonne, Ascension), because we're both using the same gamecenter ID.

    Anyone else having this difficulty? Any way to fix this without buying the games twice?

    You can create a second Game Center ID for use on your son's device. It isn't tied your Apple ID, it's tied to an email address. You just happen to be using the same email address for your Apple ID and Game Center.

    Launch the Game Center app, log out of your current account by tapping the banner that shows "Account: <your email address>" and selecting "Sign Out". Then tap on "Create New Account" and follow the instructions from there.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to put the dev's name in parentheses rather than the poster who mentioned the game?

    These are both asynchronous games w/ raitings.

    Reiner Knizia's Ra
    Reiner Knizia's Samurai
    EA's Scrabble

    How come no one has made a good asynch pool game? Pool With Friends? Is that idea so foreign?

    Would mind an aysnch Monopoly either, would take forever though.

    I thought scrabble was local multiplayer only?

    I looked for an async pool game a while ago and came up empty.
