Intro: Let me first start off by saying sorry to Microsoft and Sierra Games. They were gracious enough to give me a review copy of the full game, but it was right before my Xbox 360 went down for the count with the red lights of doom again. I finally got my 360 back a little bit ago, and just never put enough time into the game to get my review out in a timely fashion. Without further delays, here is my review of Carcassonne.
About the game:
The Xbox Live Arcade Game Carcassonne is based on the German board game with the same name. It is a board game with a midieval theme in which you place various tiles on to create towns roads and farms. There is a limited number of tiles that are distributed across all the players of the game, and you dont see the tile until its your turn to place it. Obviously the goal is to make the longest road, the biggest cities, and the largest farms, thus raising your points.
