Carcassonne iPhone app review

June 26, 2010

If you love board games you will adore this one! The traditional Carcassonne board game is now available for iphone, ipod touch and ipad and is currently being featured in the Hot apps section of iTunes.

Sometimes it can get a little tricky understanding new board games so the developers of Carcassonne has very cleverly added a voice tutorial so that you can get the hold of the game in no time. Carcassonne is a tile-based German-style board game for two to five players. You can either play it with the computer or your friends through the multiplayer option or passing the device to them when their turn comes.Carcassonne’s game board is a medieval landscape built by the players as the game progresses.

The game starts with a single terrain tile face up and 71 others shuffled face down for the players to draw from. On each turn a player draws a new terrain tile and places it adjacent to tiles that are already facing up. The new tile must be placed in a way that extends features on the tiles it abuts: roads must connect to roads, fields to fields, and cities to cities. Every tile has a different score and the game ends when all the tiles have been placed and the player with most point wins the game.

A really polished strategy game with beautiful graphics, relaxing background music and endless fun!
