    I just play with my wife and the game is well worth more than $5 if you are slightly interested in board games this is a must! Interface is gorgeous!

    Hah, this is brilliant!
    Now just have to find a way of avoiding my iPhone until these nasty exams are over, and I may actually get passed them! Unfortunately, I'm out of action review-wise until next week :(

    Just picked this up. I shouldn't be downloading it, but I got a wish list four apps long, and I want this one the most of 'em all. So far it's just this and Robot Unicorn Attack, I'll be set 'til next payday (hopefully).
    Oh crap, I hear Soccer Superstars calling...

    Noooooo! You're my favorite writer :(

    Once those exams are out of the way you let me know so we can play some carcassone online!
     
  9. Just finished playing 3 player game with two others (local game) and very intuitive controls. Not sure how much stuff they need to change on iPad rather than just use more of the fullscreen. I will definitely buy the in app expansions if they're reasonably priced. It didn't come out in May like they said just 3 days late.

    So overall very high polish and very similar to xbox live $10 version which I have.

    I'll definitely be grabbing this, if for no other reason than the app UI looks absolutely gorgeous in the screenshots.

    By the looks of it, it doesn't sound like it supports pass-and-play local multiplayer on one device, which would be unfortunate. Anyone already picked this up and can confirm?

    EDIT: Doh! Totally missed the reference to local pass-and-play feature in the great overview video on http://carcassonneapp.com/

    neeeevermind. :).

    It supports Local pass n play for 5 players (any number mix of humans and AI)

    I don't know anyone with the game to email my friend link to so I can't confirm the amount able to play in an online match

    Wow, even the invitation has a ton of polish!

    It's a beautiful letter with calligraphy and a wax seal in an envelope

    Oh, god this game is great. Everything is in it. It has beautiful visuals, a polished interface, polished audio and gorgeous background music, VOICED OVER INSTRUCTIONS (Catan...), multiple modes, internet play, the works. Great freaking game, totally worth the cash, get it asap.

    I'm not familiar with this board game. Does it transition well? I found Catan great, but not something I would pass over the actual game.

    Just thought I'd mention that Windburn and I are playing two games at the same time.

    It's a flurry of Push but everything works beautifully
