*** Carcassonne fits that opening game niche that every game group needs. -Tyler Nichols, Board Game Quest
*** Carcassonne = Great game, great mechanics, great pieces, great fun! -The Board Game Family

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!

### 1/5 — World be great if it worked

*2026-08-20, version 1.10.2967*

App hasn’t worked in over a month.. what a waste of money.

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2026-07-03, version 1.10.2967*

I could have sworn I used to have a nice, simple version of this game.
Tried this one and it is just overdone and clumsy.

Quite a quick delete.

### 4/5 — Should give it 5

*2026-06-28, version 1.10.2967*

I used to play this with my late wife. I have been enjoying this. Perhaps a few issues, but not many and the ai players are most the time good opponents. I would give it 5 because of the 1 and 2 star review being overboard. I enjoy it.

### 1/5 — Love the game but

*2026-06-25, version 1.10.2967*

Loved the old version that is unavailable now, this new “improved” version sucks, I can not shrink the board down to see all the tiles that have been played, its difficult to tell where the pieces are, I do not have the expanded pieces I had purchased on the old version, you cant even input your name for your player or choose your piece color - I am so upset the old version stopped working 😡

### 3/5 — Use the original art please

*2026-06-25, version 1.10.2967*

Game is overall good, but this 3D modeled tiles are atrocius and unrecognizable. Please make a patch with original 2D art from the board game like it was made in the old app. Or at least redraw it if you don’t have right for some reason. We don’t need this ugly 3D models, nobody likes it. I wish it had more newer expansions, but it has all must have expansions (first two expansions and river), so it’s playable.

### 3/5 — Please 🙏 bring back the old version as an option

*2026-06-24, version 1.10.2967*

Loved the old version so much. Could you make it an expansion pack ?? This version has too many modern bells and whistles and has lost the old world charm and ease of play.

### 3/5 — Its cool but has problems

*2026-06-20, version 1.10.2967*

The servers have been down for at least 2 months now, haven’t been able to create a new game.

The good:
It is Carcasonne. The colors are bright, there are simple animations. It looks nice and plays fine on both my pc and my phone.
It works with a ps5 controller fine.
You can play local or online. Locally you can go up against a few other ai, you can set their difficulty.

The bad:
Mostly online issues.
The server seems unstable. If you are playing multiple games at once and it becomes your turn in a different game, it has to reload the game you are in.
Make your password easy to type because it logs you out often.
You cannot add computers online!
Playing with dragons makes the game fail eventually. Over about a years time my friends and I have not been able to complete a dragon game.

This game has so much potential but the fact that it says last updated 4 years ago does not give me hope things will ever change.

### 1/5 — Great Game - Terrible Servers

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

Carcassonne is a fun board game, but for a paid app with paid expansions, it’s not unreasonable to expect the app to work. The games get errors and crash mid-way through, and that’s when the servers are working. I haven’t been able to start a game for a week now. It’s brutal.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to server

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

It’s been like a month; come on guys, get it fixed.

### 1/5 — No response

*2026-05-20, version 1.10.2967*

The app developer doesn’t respond when the game has bugs.  They haven’t updated or improved the game in four years. They’re cool with glitches and bugs. They’re cool with bullying and foul language in the game. 

If you went to American public school you’ll feel right at home.
