Excellent game, needs better multiplayer support

Each day I cant wait to get home so I can play EK with my oldest sons. The game is compelling, fun, and the cards are a joy to play. However, there are significant issues getting a multiplayer game going among devices, with at least 1/3 of the attempts failing (notably on the first gen iPad mini side which is what my oldest son uses). Perhaps having to wait each day until evening to play due to non-online player lookups or Game Center integration is a good thing as it makes the game more special and makes me less prone to burnout, but having the option is essential to its widespread adoption in my opinion.
