DoW are working on a version for Android tablets, not phones. They are worried the play experience on a small phone screen will not be fun. I think they said they may look at phones after the current apps are released.
I have no idea if any version will support local wifi LAN with no data connection. I think local multiplayer using a single device is going to be available, which is about the same.

Sci Fi Small World (Tight Space)

(No copywrite on Tight Space by the way, Days of Wonder, feel free to make use of it)
I think that this is the next logical direction for Days of Wonder to take the series. Two entries in the Fantasy genre is plenty, especially if they keep making mini-expansions to keep the game fresh. But the next big step is always Sci-Fi.
It wouldn't even be that hard to produce. They have the mechanics already, it would just be a matter of re-painting it, and switching up the powers that are special and racial like they did with SWU. Then throw in a few new rules to go with the theme, keep the places and relics, but obviously repaint them too... Throw in some new ideas for races and powers to mix it up a bit more... But the main thing is that they have the base game, so most of the balancing and finicky work in game development is already done.
One thing I can see them doing to fit the feel of Sci-Fi better is going more generic with the race names. Pointy-eared Alien, Squid Face, Grey Ones...
One new dynamic that they could bring in is the idea of empty space. Kinda like sea in SW, or even more like the river in SWU. It would then take tokens to travel from planet to planet. Maybe have 4-6 regions per planet? Asteroids? Or give each player a limited number of space ship tokens as their only means of interplanetary travel, so that they have to decide which few directions to expand their empire.
Planet types: Desert, Ice, Water, Lava, Earth-like, City
Chris Smith over at Boardgame Geek made this mock up that shows how very cool this could be.

And so the final battle in this 5 1/2 month campaign is done.
Eric, thank you for organizing this tournament and presenting us with so many interesting, creative, and challenging scenarios. I had a blast with all of them. (And Berlin, too, van Voort.)
Thank you -- Artimon, clorofila, Dugrim, Jeronimon, JJs Juggernaut, LooneyLlama, and Vercingetorix1302 -- for being such an outstanding and cohesive team. It was an honor and a privilege to share this journey with every one of you.
Thank you, Helcat, for your consistent sportsmanship and fair play, from the initial choosing of the teams through the final battles. And in addition to Helcat, thank you -- gheintze, Gonzalan, JAParker, Jaykay2010, lucky91, Tank Commander, and van Voort -- for being such worthy opponents.
It is a tribute to the strength of both sides that no player won more than 7 games, and only two did better than 6-4.
Special congratulations to Vercingetorix, who had the best won-lost record in the tournament, at 7-3, with +21 medals (topping me by 3 medals). Special congratulations also to the three 6-4 players: Artimon, clorofila, and van Voort. A special mention to gheintze, who was the only player to win two 2-point games. And another special mention to Jeronimon, who despite his 55- won-lost record, finished +16 on medals.
I hope the Pacific tournament will be as much fun as this was. In fact, I'm sure it will be.

I will insist about the damned 2 "ghost" games: last time I was looking for an opponent (no players available in the lobby) I started an official scenario and waited for someone to join in. At some point, I read in the chat box: "[lobby] Anyone for a game? I will play any scenario". I mean, is this frustrating or what?! Of course I went out and invited that player for a match, but how many players are looking for a match and disregard the opened games, ending up by leaving the lobby?
That is junk, garbage, and it's on our way! If anyone in charge is reading this, please END THE DAMNED GHOST GAMES!!! I'm tired of sending out private messages to Eric, Yann, etc!!!
Do I have to actually abuse the language to call some attention here???...
