The award-winning tile-based board game is now available for your NOOK Color, NOOK Tablet, NOOK HD and NOOK HD+ by Barnes & Noble!

Just a few years after its release, Carcassonne became a modern classic and a must-play. Turn by turn, the players create a landscape by placing tiles with roads, cities, fields, and cloisters. The players deploy their followers - knights, monks, thieves, or farmers - to earn points. The player with the most points after the final scoring wins the game. The ever-changing landscape makes each game a new experience. With the official expansion "The River II" and 12 challenges, it never gets old. You can play against clever AI opponents or with up to 4 other players in a local multiplayer match.

Features:
- Mobile version of the award-winning tile-based board game "Carcassonne"
- Includes the official expansion "The River II"
- Features 12 challenges

    True to the board game

    This is a faithful implementation of the Carcassone board game. It follows all of the rules and scoring, and the AI, while not brilliant, does a decent job of maintaining a challenge. The animations are solid, and your virtual opponents have little quips that match their different playing styles. I can't compare to the iphone version, because I haven't played it. This is a fun and well done game.

    I like it.....

    There is some room for improvementm try to remember to exit the game, the tablet doesn't go to sleep if game is left open. This will drain battery. Scoring doesn't always get credited right. It is still fun! I am looking forward to update!

    Just like the board game

    Love this game for the Nook. It plays well, works just like the board version. Instructions could be better, had to go and pull out my board game version to remember all the scoring. A new player would have some trouble understanding.

    Lousy Tutorial!

    Unless you already know the rules to this game, you are out of luck! Nowhere do you find rules, scoring examples etc. A total waste of $3.00!

    Great strategy game

    Have heard sp many good things about the tabletop version that I decided to give this app a spin. The setup andoption screens are nice and easy to navigate. You can play against several computer opponents, each with a slightly different strategy (knight - city builder, thief - road builder, monk - abbey builder, farmer - farm builder). A problem with the game is the lack of instructions and information on how scoring occurs. I recommend searching online for directions on how to play and score. Music is ok, although repetitive. Gameplay is great, strategically oriented. Make sure to look at the remaining tiles so that you can plan future tile and little guy placement. Recommended.

    Excellent game.

    Very similar to the board game, but without the setup and cleanup. Comes with a decent set of in-game sounds and back-ground music, but I prefer playing my own selection of music, (though sometimes even this causes the game to lag and possibly crash.)
    Silimilar, also to Settlers of Catan (unfortunately not availble for the nook color).
    Play up to 5 players, head to head with your freinds by passing the nook around--no additional hardware needed, or against 4 computer opponents, or any combination.
    The only 2 things I could ask for is 1)ability to rotate the river tiles, and 2)have an undo button during game play.
    Overall, great game!

    Not tablet ready

    I have the version for iPad and iPhone, both work great, love them.
    But the android version ( both for phone and this one) , both use dif graphics and ai from the iphone/pad version.
    The android version is not anywhere close to as good as the iphone version.
    Please, just release the same one from iphone.

    Enjoyable!

    I really like this game & have spent hours playing it. I find the other characters to be complete idiots most of the time (to me, anyway) and the game doesn't always score things correctly (I'd win more if it did!), but otherwise, it's fine. Oh and the rules could explain the game a bit better, because it is hard to understand if you've never played before.

    Really fun

    I really like this game I would like it better if I could play against another nook user wirelessly! My Mom and I love this game but we live far apart so it would be greatbif we could play against each other.

    Love this game.

    I've wanted this game for a while. I had heard of it while researching Settlers of Catan games. I was hesitant to get it because of the cost, then saw it on nook. So glad I bought it. Very addicting. Like Catan, the board is never the same twice. My only complaints are: 1. There aren't more versions. 2. You can't get all the accomplishments because you play against 2 players, not 3.

    Still, highly recommend the game. Great solitaire play.
