Carcassonne Game Releases on Steam
PARIS - Nov. 29, in the year of our Lord 2017
- Asmodee Digital today announced the Steam launch of
Carcassonne, the digital version of the award-winning
tile-laying board game, for PC and Mac, along with an all-new
version of the game for Android mobile devices. Carcassonne
presents an all new, 3D version of the classic game. Two to six
players take on the roles of founders of the region as they
build roads, abbeys and cities in online asynchronous
multiplayer gameplay.
Simple to pick up but challenging to master, the new Carcassonne
presents players with endless opportunities for tactical play.
Within minutes, players will find themselves in tough situations
- determining where to put their last meeple, whether to use
tiles to expand the city, or to hinder their opponent. Players
place only one tile each round, and have the option to place one
meeple on it. Each game develops differently, full of boundless
possibilities, and the quick-fire nature of the game ensures
that Carcassonne always runs at a brisk pace.
Launching today on Steam for PC and Mac, Carcassonne is
available at the discounted price of $9.99 for a limited time
and comes complete with two popular expansions – The River and
The Abbot - to further enhance in-game options.
In addition, Asmodee Digital’s new Android version of
Carcassonne has been released with exciting new features,
including beautiful new artwork, 2D and 3D perspective,
pass-and-play mode, updated AI (three different AI behaviors
thoroughly tested by Hans im Glück: Easy Neighbor, Fierce
Egoist, and Risk-Taker) and asynchronous online play
(cross-platform compatible with Android and Steam), including
ranked games and leaderboards. It will be available at the
discounted price of $1.99 for the first 30 days after launch and
comes with the The Abbot expansion.
The game will continue to be developed with already many
projects underway:
• Additional expansions coming after launch include Inns &
Cathedrals, Traders & Builders and Princesses & Dragons.
• For all the Carcassonne pros, a Champion AI will be released
for free within the next few months.
