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

    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 playing a bunch of single player and a little online and tonight I had a group of friends over to watch the NBA draft ... we wound up playing this all night.

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

    As the game progresses the camera pulls back further and further from the "board" making it a bit difficult to see. There is a zoom that works so slightly that it might as well not exist.

There is a zoom that works so slightly that it might as well not exist. The player scoreboard graphics are too big while the game pieces are generally small and hard to see for the majority of a game. But the game itself is very fun. Too bad the implimentation and presentation for the 360 video game is so marginal. Despite it's weaknesses, it is playable and easy to learn. I do hope they update it in order to improve the game's video presentation. I have played the German computer version which has excellent presentation --- the kind Xbox 360 should have. Please update it.… Expand

    A fun game that is a great board game. The only problem is that it doesn't have all of the expansions.

    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.

    I honestly didn’t know much about Carcassonne before I played it on XBLA, but the cozy format and computer control makes it a lot of unfettered fun. Sierra also promises that it’ll add some of the board game’s expansion as inexpensive downloads soon, which will extend the gameplay that much more.

    As a simple, yet effective translation of the German board game, Carcassonne proves an oddly addictive experience.
