    Missing Steam integration. You need to make some trash account to play! Game itself is ok, but I cannot give positive because missing Steam integration.

    Well, it doesn't look like this has been updated since 2021. Too bad, because every time I open this game it's a disappointment. The board game itself is great, but this version is wrought with bugs. Several tutorials don't work right, and I just got kicked out of a LOCAL game because it "lost connection" ?! I'll probably let this sit for another month and then give it another chance, at which point I'm sure I'll encounter some other problem.

    I like the game concept and mechanics, but the technical execution is horrible. It's one thing that the game servers are a mess, but why do I need to be connected all the time? I couldn't even finish the traders & builders expansion tutorial because "connection is lost" and the whole game crashed, could only exit with alt + f4 key combo.

    The game is broken and you can not play it at the time of this review. You launch the game and it says "Connecting to servers" and you have to ALT+F4 EDIT: It took them an ENTIRE WEEK to fix their game. My review stays negative because apparently this happens somewhat frequently. The devs response time and lack of communication and accountability is apalling.

    I love the board game and so, what can go wrong. Right? Where to start..., the A.I. is like a permanent super-computer. There is no "Easy-Medium-Hard", it's just pointless, especially if you are trying to introduce another person into how this game works. The recent multiplayer bugs are a real turn off. Mid game the system will just crash, servers that do not connect, and not just for an hour but whole days. It is just a bit too much for a supposedly relaxing and fun game to want to ask for a…

    The board game itself is great and this digital version could be perfect (for local offline play) if the devs could put in the effort. It's absolutely ridiculous how there are no local profiles or controller support. It's really baffling how the UI of this game feels perfectly designed for touchscreen and controllers but only supports keyboard and mouse? Edit: also why is all of the dlc available on steam but the abbot isn't? Buying the physical game gives me the abbot and the river in the…

    Love this game, but been trying to play all week, and after saying its connecting to server, it just sits on the splash screen. Was open 20 minutes accidentally so i know somethings up. Reinstalled, and did all the normal jazz, nothing. Requested a refund despite having the game a long time, not expecting much, but many comments seem to echo my concern. Game doesnt work, end of story.

    I love this game, even though I'm terrible at it. I really enjoy playing a relaxing turn based board game. The reason I have to reject it, is because I lost connection while playing a tutorial. How is it even possible to lost connection on something that should not be connected to the internet in the first place?!? I absolutely hate games that are online only. I am so very disappointed and done playing it.

    AI that draws perfect tiles every turn? No thanks. Honestly, probably a decent edition if you want to play online or couch co-op with friends, but the amount of cheese in this game is ridiculous. When two AI players are routinely in double digits after turn 3, it is time to look at your programming.

    I love carcassonne so much that I have purchased this version of it multiple times for my friends. I am now completely unable to play it because I had to change my Asmodee password and now the game won't allow me to log in. It tries to log me in, then flashes an error on the screen about being unable to connect until the game crashes. Please fix this.

    While Carcassonne is a great game, and this game *would* be a fun version of it if it consistently worked properly, it just doesn't. Historically the servers go down regularly with no communication from the company Recently the servers were down for nearly two weeks with nothing said by the developer, publisher, or server hosts. Not even a "we're working on it". Meanwhile a game that literally doesn't function was sitting on sale. I'll change this review when the companies that made this…

    Refunded this and all DLC. The game played great the first time doing local swap play. Second time, I was able to play online, albeit with some difficulties. Once we were in we were good though. The second time I tried to play with a friend and we could never connect to each other. Now, the game won't even boot up. It just says "connecting to server". There is even a "cancel" button to stop it from connecting but that doesn't work. Then you have to alt+f4 and get a crash message to…

    Very intuitive, I have the board game and it's basically as easy to play as that but without the faff of physical tiles and doing the maths yourself. Good for both pass-play and playing an AI, wish the music kept going through the whole game but that's such a non-issue. Am definitely going to have 100 hours on this thing before the year is out.

    I only bought this game to have an enjoyable single player against the computer, and since its a computer game, I expected to be able to set amount of tiles to my own wish, to have games of different length and size. This one feature is not included. Should have checked, but its such a minor feature it was hard to imagine they would not include it, even down being able to make custom tile decks where one can change number of individual tiles.

    Does what it's supposed to do. On sale for 2.99 you really can't complain. The expansions cost extra like in real life, but here they did it properly, as DLC. Not like Catan with that browser game port crap. There's no steam cloud though, but maybe you don't even need it for a game like this...? There are also QoL features to highlight tiles, which is very nice to have, and some different AIs for singleplayer. Everything you need. Haven't tried multiplayer. Sadly, there's only a single…

    This game freezes up often and randomly. At first, I thought it was just the Gingerbread Man Expansion. Now, it's freezing up with any expansion. This is highly disappointing. I would love to have my money back. Please don't buy this game or you'll be quite upset with yourself.

    If you're only interested in single player this seems fun, but the multiplayer was unplayable. My friends and I tried to create a game but our lobby would not initialize; according to in game chat others also had the same issue and that it was ongoing. Unfortunately there is no peer to peer hosting as an alternative to the game's unreliable servers.

    This game, which once promised to be something special, has unfortunately lost its appeal. The last update was back in 2021, and since then, it seems the developers have completely forgotten about the project. There are no new features, no bug fixes, and, most disappointingly, the server has been down for over a week. Players are left waiting, but there are no signs of any effort to restore it. Honestly, it's disappointing. The game had potential, but the lack of support and the developers'…

    Quick review after less than 2 hours game time. I want to try later if it's more fun with friends, so I don't have strong opinion yet! This is after few solo games against 1-3 AI opponents. -if you're already familiar with the game, and want to play it in faster pace, then this is probably good for you! I like my board games slower pace that's why this felt a bit jarring , especially against AI. - original tabletop is better and more fun (but needs friends/family close enough to visit). - eh,…

    This is a great strategy game and plays well against AI players. The online server simply sucks bad, it is offline more than online. This prevents playing against other "live" players online. At the time of this writing the server has been down for two days. Why spend money on a game when the server is down the majority of time.

Online play is completely broken - cannot connect to server at all anymore. Local play vs computer player is possible if you turn off all your network connections.

I hosted and he got in my game but the game literally would not start and we would just be stuck in the lobby. Game is trash. Don't waste your money.

    If you like Carcassonne or boardgames in general then I strongly recommend you pick up this game. It is a lot of fun and very cheap to get. You don't need to own the DLC's to enjoy them as long as someone in your party has it. It is cross-platform so except a great variety of players.

I've played the digital version for many hours across Xbox and PC, and I still enjoy its mixture of quick matches, tactical tile placement and the occasional frustration when the one tile I desperately need simply refuses to appear. I play locally in single-player against the computer only. I've never used the online multiplayer, haven't needed to create an Asmodee Digital account, and…
