About

Carcassonne is a board game played by placing tiles and game pieces on a table. While playing, a medieval world of towns, roads and fields unfolds on the table. Carcassonne for iOS and Mac keeps all the charm of the original and adds features only a digital board game can provide, like networked multiplayer or taking care of rules and scoring.

History

Carcassonne made its debut on the App Store in 2010 — a dinosaur by app standards — and it is still going strong. Very strong, indeed: 4.5 Million Online Games have been played, and every day players meet in the in-game lobby to start Quick Games or Friend Games. Like the board game, the digital version continues to be updated with expansions: "The River", "Traders and Builders", "Inns and Cathedrals", "The Princess and the Dragon", "Phantom" or "Winter Edition". With no end in sight, Carcassonne for iOS and Mac has become the most complete and most active community to play Carcassonne on electronic devices. It is, to say it with one word, a classic.
