Hi guys,

I thought it might be a good time to finally give out a few more details. Let me highlight the two available expansions and the new features of the update for you.

The River

“The River” adds 12 new tiles, that are played at the start of a game, laying out a river that divides the game board and adds new strategical challenges while the game progresses. We’ve worked together with the publisher to make sure all rules for river tile placements are working as intended by the author.  The River is available for $0.99 in our expansion store.

Inns and Cathedrals

“Inns and Cathedrals” adds 18 new tiles - some of them featuring the eponymous inns or cathedrals. Inns double the value of the road they are next to. In a similar vein, Cathedrals add a point for each tile in their city. Both of these elements make the game riskier, as incomplete roads and cities lose their value when they come into play. The expansion also features a large follower that can be placed on tiles for double the value of a normal figure. It is available for $1.99 in the expansion store.

New Game Modes

Even if you don’t care about the expansions we have good news for you: There are new modes to play the basic Carcassonne (with and without expansions) as well. Both of these are often requested features by the community and we are really happy to support them with this update.

The first mode lets players disable scoring of fields is perfect for beginning and casual players or kids. 

For purists there now also is a mode that disables the assistive features of the digital version, i.e. the tile overview and the display of impossible placement spots on the board. 

When?

So when will this be available? It will be ready for download later today. :)
