The cross platform game center thing in iOS6 is between Macs and iOS. iPad and iPhone are the on same platform, and lots of games play between the two (including Ticket to Ride, just not in async mode).

iPhone and iPad run the same OS but they are not the same platform.

If you have a secret way of playing Ticket to Ride iPhone with Ticket to Ride iPad PLEASE let me know. The iPhone version only uses Game Center and the iPad version only uses the DoW servers (though it uses your GC username as the login)

Currently (at least as far as I know) you can't connect an iPhone specific version of a game to the iPad specific version with Game Center. Many games that seem to incorporate it actually don't. A good example would be Real Racing 2. Yes you can play Real Racing 2 vs. Real Racing 2 HD but you're not actually using Game Center. Firemint (now firemonkeys) has you login to their cloudcell servers to play online and game center is just used as an auto login of sorts.

The new game center cross platform means that devs have more of a reason to keep feature parity between their apps since each platform will be able to connect. I'm not sure how it will work in this case because the iPad and OSX versions are the same but the iPhone is split between two apps, but I'm definitely hoping that Days of Wonder stop screwing up their own brand and fracturing their already niche market.

I play the multiplayer quite a bit but have been having a problem where the board is unresponsive when its my turn. Sometimes it will let me pick one card then not respond for my second card pick. The whole game isn't frozen though because it will let me go to the settings and multi-player game selector screen. The only way to get that particular game to work again is to force quit the app and start it up again. It is an intermittent problem.

Does anyone know how the stations work? In the directions it tells you that it lets you pick the opponents route to use at the end of the game however I haven't been given the opportunity.

You have to play the station during the game. At the end of the game you get to use one opponents route (to the next city) out from that city. I actually haven't used a station yet, so not sure what the UI is, but you would place it during your turn.

Yeah that's what I did but was never given the opportunity. I placed a station mid game and later did my last turn and the next thing I know it's the score screen. I'm chalking it down to yet another bug in TTR.
