In order: Ascension, Summoner Wars, Outwitters, Hero Academy. Anything with asynchronous multiplayer is awesome. There are a few other games that people really enjoy here, but I have too many games of the top four going at all times to really get into old games.
For turn-based, async: Neuroshima Hex, Summoner Wars and Outwitters. I play them all the time. Nightfall for the weird card game deck builder - I really dig the mechanic, even if it's really obtuse.
Board games in general:
Titan HD - My friends and I get together to play it on the iPad rather than the physical because we can usually knock out a game in 30ish minutes and not 2 hours because we don't have to sort through the maps, battlemaps and unit tokens every game. Next update has Multiplayer. I cannot wait for it!
Tigris and Euphrates - Lots of cold war early exploding into violence between leaders later.
Chess: :) Chess.com and Shredder are the 2. I have Stockfish as well, just to see how badly I can get curb-stomped by a computer.
*sigh* joining this site is going to have a negative effect on my pocket book. Do the Accension Expansions go on sale from time to time? Neuroshima hex does fairly regularly.

Yep! Welcome to the addiction! Sign up for an account at AppShopper.com and add games to your watch list. You'll get an e-mail notification when there's a price drop. They even have an iPhone app so you'll get an iOS notification when there's a price change.

From time to time. Not very often, though. The IAP scheme is nice so you don't have to plunk down a bunch of money up front. Buy the base game now, next payday get another deck, next payday, get another.
Thanks for noticing. Most people see Carc as a friendly little city-building game, but they're wrong. It's a vicious and brutal with the right players.
@Jeff I must admit that I really don't get the appeal of that game. It is fun enough I suppose, but the hooks have not got me
Different strokes for different folks, I s'pose. The cardboard version was ok enough, but for me, the hooks got me with the iPhone game. I learned some nasty tricks from the in-game AIs.
Fealty is a very nice game, did not get much recognition because it was released on almost the same day as nightfall, sadly because the developers seem to have put a lot of effort in the game. It's a nice abstract strategy game, does not take too long to play and you can play AI and online with GC. You can't invite friends in online play at this time but an update is promised.
I have finally spent some time with Le Havre. It is really a great game, but feels like it would play better vs real people. I also feel like I cant think far enough in advance at a quick enough pace (spending 3-5 mins doing my turn vs the AI)
