Carcassonne (iPhone)

Still no idea how you pronounce it, even after all these years.

One of my favourite XBLA games was the conversion of board game Carcassonne. (I’m using the past tense, as I don’t seem to have played it in about two years.) I even got all the single player achievements, which is very unusual.

Anyway, the iPhone version’s here now and it’s fantastic. The menus are a bit strange at times and Internet games seem to start randomly – I had a horrible time trying to start a game with a friend, but we got there in the end, though we’re not sure how – but the actual game interface is wonderful.

Carcassonne

I know the rules, but I'm only starting to learn any actual strategies.

It’s a decent single player game, too. (I have trouble beating the “Easy” opponent, embarrassingly.) And there’s a “Solitaire” mode I’ve not yet investigated.

If you like Carcassonne, this is an excellent version. If you’ve never played it, there’s a tutorial here and it’s one of those “easy to learn, hard to master” kind of games. Highly recommended – I’ll let you know if I ever figure out what the problem with starting Internet games is/was.
