Players start from a single tile and then draw from a pool of remaining tiles to create a growing landscape and gain points for ultimate victory. Carcassonne features multiplayer modes both offline and online allowing players to compete against up to five players on Xbox LIVE and four players on a single Xbox 360. Players amass valuable points by strategically placing tiles and claiming land, completing towns, roads and farms. Gamers can master strategy in the medieval world by owning the largest towns, longest roads and biggest farms, not to mention a monastery or two. Or they can score points and properties the old fashioned way--by poaching from others!… Expand

    With easy to learn rules, but surprising strategic depth, Catan gets some company in the “Turn-Based Fun” genre of XBLA!

    It's highly unlikely that you'll find a better value on Live Arcade.

    Carcassonne for the Xbox LIVE Arcade is a great conversion of the original board game, but certain aspects of the game are lacking.

    Simpler and faster than "Catan." [Aug 2007, p.92]

    Carcassonne is Live Arcade at its best--a fair price for a great game you otherwise wouldn't find on the 360. More please! [Aug 2007, p.80]

    Although Carcassonne may not have the depth of strategy that you see in Catan, it still holds its own as a stable addition to the Live Arcade.

    The complexity of it all stinks up the mix. [Issue#23, p.98]

    Ok this game rules the planet. I was confused until I did the tutorial and now it's probably my favorite game on XBLA. I'd been Ok this game rules the planet.

    Perfect conversion of a nice board game. I hope they'll bring more of those to XBLA. Brilliant value!

    I'm a fan of the original board game and this XBLA version definitely lives up to the name.

    Pretty boring, but perfect if you have nothing else to do. I never played the board game, so when i picked this up, i was really, really confused.
