A TILE PLACEMENT GAME OF CREATING LANDSCAPES, CLAIMING AREAS, AND GAINING POINTS
Discover or re-discover Carcassonne, the multi-awarded tile-based game in which players draw and place their tiles to build a medieval city. Place your cities, roads, abbeys or fields to enlarge your landscape, then place your followers, the meeples. Knights, robbers or farmers... Each meeple will help you control your territory and win points.
But be careful, you will need all your best strategy and tactics to maximum your points! Place your tiles and your meeples wisely to stop your opponents and win the game.
6 EXPANSIONS: ENLARGE YOUR LANDSCAPE AND OPTIMIZE YOUR POINTS
Thanks to the mini expansions ""The River"" and ""The Abbot"", you can embellish your landscape and vary your game to enjoy new ways to play! Double or even triple your points thanks to the new buildings in the Inns & Cathedrals expansion! And with the Traders & Builders expansion, score more points with the trading commodities and build faster with the builders! Discover the city of Carcassonne covered with a blanket of white snow in the Winter Edition... and look out for the Gingerbread Man and the bonus points he'll give you! Beware of the Dragon in ""the Princess and the Dragon"" expansion! He could eat your Meeples if you're not cautious. And be kind with the Princess: she might prefer you to other Meeples and toss them out of the cities!

Ratings and Reviews
Shiny but missing polish
Carcassonne functions, but it missing some features that hold it back from being truly great.
1) There really isn’t a simple way to play with your friends. Currently without a turn based option/notification system you’d all have to be available at the same to play a game together.
Which isn’t ideal since people are busy.
2) The interface isn’t as intuitive as it should be. I had to stumble around all sorts of menus to try and find out how to change my color.
3) When waiting for your turn, you can’t plan ahead, since the interface is showing the AI’s tile. I suppose that’s the way the rules are written, but it’s a shame that you sometimes think it’s your turn and you have a great tile, only for you to realize that it was just showing you the computers instead.
Finishing with some positives:
The game plays smoothly and the placement options for where to put a tile are made to be obvious which I appreciate.
I like the graphics and the animations.
Options for playing with and without farmers is appreciated as are the toggle switches for being able to glance and see how the fields are currently owned/shaped.
Carcassonne is a great game with nice new look that is lacking some features that keep it from giving you more value for your purchase.
Good improvements lately
Finally downloaded this new version now that some of the “issues” earlier reviews had have been fixed (zoom and 2d mode). Overall my family feels this plays well and we have not gone back to the old version, except for the main reason we are giving it 4 stars and not 5.... My wife LOVED the solitaire mode of the old app which is missing in this new version.
The only other issue is when we play as a family, the player color does not seem to stick. For example, I am always green, my wife is always yellow, and my son is always blue. If I start the game I am green but the two of them end up being some random color. If my wife starts the game she is always yellow but then my son and I end up being a random color. Not a huge deal but after playing the physical version that way for almost a decade it’s a little hard to remember that you were a different color.
Other than that, we are really enjoying the game and think the app is worth the time and money.
Disappointing
I LOVED the old Coding Monkeys version of the Carcassonne app. It looked and played just like the real game, and its online play was flawless. This version from Asmodee pales in comparison. It’s terribly glitchy, and on the rare occasion they release an update to “fix” the bugs, it actually ends up making things worse. The app used to have to reconnect to the servers and reload the map every time you closed the app. Then Asmodee released an update to supposedly help keep the app connected to the servers even when it’s running in the background. Great, right? But it actually made the game LESS stable. Now I constantly have to re sign-in to my Asmodee account because I get an error saying the game failed to connect to the servers. This rarely happened prior to the update. I contacted Asmodee support several weeks ago to let them know about this issue and never heard back. I’m on the verge of deleting the app from my phone and never touching it again. I will never trust another Asmodee app again. Shame on them for ruining what used to be an amazing Carcassonne experience on iOS by forcing us to switch to this faulty app.
