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!

Carcassonne – Tiles & Tactics Reviews
Finally downloaded this new version now that some of the issues earlier reviews had have been fixed (zoom and 2d mode). Overall our family feels this plays well and we have not gone back to the old version, except for the main reason we are giving it 4 stars and not 5…. Our wife LOVED the solitaire mode of the old app which is missing in this new version. The only other issue is when we play as a family, the player color does not seem to stick. For example, we are always green, our wife is always yellow, and our son is always blue. If we start the game we are green but the two of them end up being some random color. If our wife starts the game she is always yellow but then our son and we end up being a random color. Not a huge deal but after playing the physical version that way for almost a decade its a little hard to remember that you were a different color. Other than that, we are really enjoying the game and think the app is worth the time and money.
We played the physical tiles, we wanted to try a digital one. Overall and, overall, its fun to play. We have some quibbles; we wish we could rename characters. Like, the one is AI you cant change it. So, our grade is: B to B+.
This version of the app seems fine, but it might not be as good as the PC/desktop version. During the end game scoring the camera didnt automatically pan or zoom so that we could see which items tiles were being included in the scoring. Overall it is passable but we think they need to make it zoom out at the end during the scoring step.
We have the old Carcassonne and play online with some of our children. It works very well, when you are notified of your turn the app opens quickly and it is just very quick and slick. This new app is NOT better/faster. Oh sure the pieces bounce and the graphics are more vibrant but the game play is SO much slower even with things turned off in settings. You do get a notification when its your turn but opening the app takes a long time. If you leave the app open and switch to a different app or screen or put your screen to sleep, opening the app takes a long time. Lets Speed things up please.
The Princess and the Dragon is unplayable! You get halfway through the game and it freezes to the point where you can no longer play any tiles. Please fix or refund our money, we would love to be able to play this as its our favorite expansion! The rest of the game isnt too bad, but please work on this!
The app constantly has a 1 on it, indicating that we have a notification even when we dont. This doesnt change even when we do have a notification, so theres no easy way to see if its our turn on a game if we miss the pop up notification. The result is that games often time out. If we are not actively in a game when it ends, theres no way to see the results. It just disappears from our list as soon as it ends. The chat resets every time we minimize the app on our phone which makes it pretty much impossible to use. It would be nice for it to keep messages for the duration of the game.
Would be better if less time wasted drawing pretty graphics. Gameplay is excruciatingly slow.
The previous license holders had it right. Perfect async play. Our friends and we would have casual games that lasted months sometimes. Cant do that with the game timer. And notifications? Forget that. Completely unreliable causing missed moves and games to timeout. What about the badging? Glad you asked. Ours has been stuck at 1 since we played a game online. All our games are done and we cant find anything in the app to read or view but nope – always at 1 – which also leads to missing when its your turn because you never know if the badge is real or not. We know this version is nicer looking but for a big studio we expected more. How did a small dev shop do such a great job for years and them this version come in with a head start from other platforms and fall so flat at what made the existing version great?
The game was so simple and elegant under The Coding Monkeys direction. This version is clunky and slow with all the corny animations. Please renew your contract with the coding monkeys.
We might just use the table top version it is sooooooooooo much better.
This is slow and clunky. Why cant we get the old Carcassonne back? It was our all time favorite game.
Good enough interpretation of Carcassonne to be very fun and enjoyable. PROBLEM The computer gets stuck thinking forever sometimes during the river tile laying period. Only way out is to force quit. You might want to try a timeout. You surely have enough analytics to register and solve all these bugs, its not like you arent logging every single thing we do in the app. Please fix this is so annoying. Playing against Conqueror with Inns and Cathedrals, River (obviously), and abbot.
The UI on this version is not good and makes it frustrating to play. If you enjoyed the old app, we dont think you will this version.
In our original post, we rated this one star for the many reasons others did too. We can back to raise that to a two maybe three star, only to find out our review is gone. Deleted. Hidden so others cant see it. Hence, we stand by our one star review.
Due to unfortunate circumstances we lost access to the old version which as most of you know is an absolute masterpiece. We miss the music and simplicity and the true to board game design of the original. Had we not experienced the code monkeys version we would of rated this current desecration a solid 2 or maybe 3. They took the soul out of this game and replaced it with something manufactured and hollow.
Gonna just boycott asmodee products now for ruining two great apps.
We’ve never left a review of an app before in our life. However, this version of Carcassonne compared to the original version on the iPad is so terrible that we hope this gets back to the developers and they switch back. The attention to detail, the music, the graphics of the original Carcassonne on the iPad did such a great job of encapsulating the physical game. This is one of the few games that we could play with friends and leave on a table and really feel like we were playing a boardgame.
Someone please make a new app. This version is trash.
So disappointed. From reading reviews we thought the 4.99 would get us the bundle expansions. It only buys you the basic version. No rivers, inns, cathedrals, nothing. Just the generic version and you have to buy everything else separate. So disappointed.
How can you take one of the best designed mobile games (the first Carcassonne for iOS by the coding monkeys) and create a piece of junk like this? Asmodee should be ashamed of themselves. We only play this version when we have towhen playing online with friends.
We have played more than 25 times and now suddenly cant log in, cannot reset password, cannot play. Is this some kind of scam to get us to pay over and over again?
5 stars easily because, we dont know how this game started out, but at the state it is currently in, it works fine, it is smooth, and it is only 5 dollars. The ratings are waaaay too harsh/critical of this game. If we were being honest we would say it is a 4 star game because it is missing some quality of life things, but it gets five stars because of everyone else.
We’ve had this game on phone and iPad for years. We’ve had no particular issues with it, ever. Its a solid game that provides us with fun whenever we have the time!

We think this plays really well and is intuitive. We really would like to see the Abbey and Mayor expansion here. This is our favorite expansion and not sure why we cannot purchase it amongst some of the others. Thanks for considering.
We love it, but still no AI bots to add to online gameplay. Also the aggressive AI shouldnt always automatically get the tiles he needs, tile draw really needs to be random, kinda obvious he always gets what he needs.
We’ve been playing Carcassonne for several weeks and have been enjoying it greatly, until we recently realized it is counting the city points incorrectly. Giving much less points than it should. Not sure why this flaw but it makes us not want to play the game when it is scoring us incorrectly (in one match we counted 44 city points but only received 30). Please fix.
Needs local Bluetooth option to play with friends nearby.
For an app that cost us $5 we were expecting more. Very little personalization and very generic overall. We were hoping for better because we love this game but we were left disappointed. Should be a free app.
The original app was much better. Why force this new app on fans? It constantly disconnects from the server, and is slow to reconnect, often not being able to do so. Often when we close the app, it logs us out of our account and we must re-sign in to open it. Features are limited. We don’t care that it is 3d, we want maximum functionality!
So maddening! We want to play the AI both to get better and we prefer it to playing online. We’ve played a couple dozen games and the aggressive AI is so blatantly cheating its laughable. Once the game gets going Im actually able to guess with about 80% accuracy what the next tile type will be. The last game we played it was obvious what the computer was setting up, we knew what the next 3 tiles would draw would be . It makes no sense. Why cant the tile draw be random? We play this game in person weekly, and its very different from the unpredictability of live play. How is it fun to play if you know its rigged against you and lets you win 1 game in 10? Im not opposed to losing and we think it makes you a stronger player. But we are opposed to cheating. We re-wrote this because we typed it all out earlier and the review is nowhere to be found.
We’ve loved playing the previous version by another company, but when we bought this one, the irritations have only piled up. First, the flaws: "Errors" with our game occur regularly when our wife and we play a networked game, logging us out. Occasionally, when playing with the dragon, it will lock up, allowing no moves by the player (even when playing against the AI players). Annoyances include: we can’t leave the game for more than a minute, or we have to select it from the list of in-progress games, instead of it just waiting there for us to bring up the app again. It goes through a whole animation, replaying the game in fast-forward, before we can make our move. When setting up a networked game, you have to specify a very long timeout period if you don’t expect to play continuously, otherwise, the AI takes over for one of the players. Every time we complete something, every one of our pieces (and goods collections) triggers the fanfair music–just one fanfair per tile placement would be more than sufficient. It’s very difficult to tap on the dragon symbol when telling it where to move while zoomed out. Tapping on the tile itself should be sufficient to indicate where to move the dragon, and that irritation is compounded upon when there’s only one direction you can move it in. We love playing this game with our wife over lunch breaks and any time we’re not able to play a physical game together, but this implementation puts too many barriers to our enjoyment. This is a prettier version than the first iOS version, but playability needs to be the first priority.
We love this game, but gosh it crashes more than half the games lately.
We love the game, but this app crashes, freezes, and malfunctions regularly. Im really upset and frustrated by it.
We love this game, but the app glitches badly and its frustrating. The dragon expansion seems to throw the most glitches, which is frustrating because its an interesting mechanic. The computer takeover option for a multiplayer game also fails sometimes and instead allows the opponent to move on your behalf. We really expected more for an app that costs money.
We loved the original app. When they lost their license we gladly switched to this one. While it is slick and has lots of features, the algorithm is in charge no matter what. Youll win in the beginning even if you start a new profile and then you will steadily lose every time until you give up. Pick it up a few months later and the cycle repeats. This cycle is so obvious and predictable that it ruins the fun of the game. We would play again if it felt more random.
Super glitch, signs us out on a daily basis. Now it wont recognize our user name and password and we cant get help to reset it.
Deleted this app again. Knowing that the AI is handpicking makes winning unrewardingand having high chance tiles used against you is sooo frustrating. You may not believe mefind out for yourself.
Keep getting logged out every time we close the app which makes it hard to play while doing other things on our phone while Im waiting for our turn.
This game used to be fun but it freezes a lot where you cant move it and you cant see the area thats been built completely. Sometimes you cant enlarge it and see what youre doing either. When it works, we wish it had more tiles so it would last longer. When youre playing against the computer, its a real sshle. Its settings are basically hard or harder. It spends most of its time blocking you and merging with your cities instead of developing its own. It feels like a war instead of being fun. We win a lot but Im just tired of defending myself constantly. Im worn down. Id rather play against myself in another game than play against this computer.
This game used to be so much better, like the UI and everything. Not sure why they decided to go in this direction.
Please get controller support this game is horrible an you totally stole our money we got this on the Xbox so we know it can be ported!
They really failed to deliver on this remake. The Coding Monkees version was nearly flawless while this app is the buggiest Apple app we’ve ever used. So many different bugs, a new one shows up every other game. We love Carcassonne, but this version is hugely disappointing.
We have had an issue for weeks with no response. Are they still providing support or has this just gone by the wayside?
This game is fun to play but its lacking in several areas. 1. There is no explanation as to what the karma means or how its impacted through game play. 2. Games often dont load which leads to a loss where your rating is negatively affected. 3. If somebodys time runs out you have to play against the AI which is designed to make the best plays even when the person may not have made the beat plays.
The original version of the game was an absolute masterpiece, but this is just trash.
Great game but app is frustrating. Signs you out randomly throughout the game and really hard to go back after a game to read the board. Could be great with some improvements.
Dont buy this app. We enjoy carcassonne so this app is such a gross injustice. Our profile has been lost twice. Now Im getting an error that causes an opening screen to flash like crazy. We can only get past the flashing error by deleting the app and reinstalling it.
That was a great game. This one is horrible with the zooming board. Just horrible.
