I want DiceWars (single and/or multi-player) for the iPhone! Multi-player aside, this is a great casual game. I’d also like to see some kind of turn-based multi-player game for the iPhone. Something that would email/text you when it’s your turn and skip your turn if you haven’t taken it in a certain amount of time (4-6 hours?).
A few friends and I play
on the web once in a while, which is great, but it might work better with shorter turns on a mobile platform. If your turn could be played in about 60 seconds and you were notified on your device that it’s your turn, it might work better for my friends and I.
We played a lot of Risk (aka “Rikks”) in college, but now that we’ve all got our own thing going on (work, wife, kids, etc), it’s difficult to get everyone together. A turn-based “play-when-you-can-but-don’t-hold-everyone-else-up” game is what could work for us.

Try Strategery! The free-version was just released yesterday! Like Dice Wars, it’s a simplified/arcadey Risk, but has tons of gameplay modes (Attrition vs Winner-keeps-all, Land Grab, etc) to keep it interesting.

I tried it and it is very cool. The dice rolling is a little unnecessary since it happens too fast. The maps are a little small (on the free version, at least). Great time killer though. That and galcon are very cool. Now there just needs to be an Animal Crossing-like open world game.

[...] single-player version of KDice to the iPhone and will be submitting it to the App Store soon. I had previously expressed my interest for just this and it looks like Ryan will deliver! Here’s a screenshot [...]

Dice Wars update as of today. Cites “improved performance and various bug fixes”. I can’t say I’ve run into any bugs in this game, but the must be there.
Risk is also a great game, but I haven’t ever tried Wee War. Loading it in a new tab right now. Thanks for the mention.
