Just got my first iPad! It's a Mini 2 Retina. What are the best iPad only games? I have played a lot of iPhone and universal games already, so I'm looking for the iPad only stuff, or at least stuff that is a lot better on the big screen. So far I've grabbed The Room and Hearthstone.

Board games are definitely fair game if they are great implementations. I found this article http://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/iosapps/21-best-ipad-board-games-christmas-3417561/ and will probably be trying most of them!

I can't think of any iPad only games, just universal stuff that would be better on iPad because of the bigger screen (when compared to a phone).

Final fantasy is a pretty fun iPad game. Can't remember if that was an ipad only exclusive.

The only ones I can think of are board game adaptions and hearthstone. There are almost none because, why release a game to less than 30% of your potential market when you can make a universal app that works on everything.

The Room?

I'm not actually sure if that's iPad only but when I got mine I picked this up right away.

My girlfriend and I habe concluded that Agricola for the iPad is more or less the best transportation game ever. It was already one of our most favourite board games, but digitally, and I guess because of the length of a game, waiting time in transit is effectively cancelled, and suddenly, all that time that could have been a bummer has now flown by. Its easily the iPad app/game I've used the most and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I really like Fates Forever! It's a MOBA, but don't let that scare you.
