"Hello, my name is Elena and I play board games," - that's just so began my confession would be among the people who want to recover from a gambling addiction. Strange coincidence, but almost all the table games, which are sunk into my soul, I first discovered in the iOS-devices. On one such nastolki I would like to tell you today.
On one of the most influential sites BoardGameGeek, dedicated to board games, "Carcassonne" is a hundred of the best. And you just imagine yourself on this site includes more than 70,000 games! After his exit "Carcassonne" was recognized as "Game of the Year" in many European countries, and recently He began to capture the minds and hearts of many of our compatriots, and I am only too happy contribute. The game itself was invented by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede, and is named after a town located in the south of France. Now its architectural ensemble even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, with the rules of the game it is completely unrelated.
I confess that in my house there are two versions of this game - electronic and paper, and each of them has its advantages. In a circle of friends, of course, often want to get a treasured box with the game, but when you want to play two or hone their skills, the electronic version is becoming an indispensable tool. It will save time and will give the opportunity to fight with opponents of different skill levels.
Game rules are very simple: it is necessary to build the playing field from disparate pieces (tiles). They can be shown to the road field, part of the lock or church. And, of course, in the construction necessary to use simple logic: the road to the road, the castle to the castle and so on. In the electronic version you will always prompt options for travel, which will be highlighted on the board.
During this course I can join a rival road.
Initially 7 chips (men) are in the hands of the player, which he can put it on the drop-down tiles. Man can be placed in the castle, on the road, in the church or put on the field. After joining the regular square area, the player decides whether to post it on your chip. Men can be arranged to pick up only in one case, if an object (the church, the road or castle) completed. But, of course, there is one exception: from the field to pick up the chips can not, they will stay there until the final scoring. In addition, they can not be placed on the objects that already have someone's men, including your own.
For each piece of unfinished road, you get 1 point for a completed part of the castle - 2 points, for the church, surrounded on all sides tiles - 9 points. Bordered harder, and believe me, you are not the first time will understand how they can be used to make a large number of points. However, for each unfinished castle, located in the field, the player gets 3 points. At the end of the game being the final scoring. Over the unfinished part of the road and the castle player gets 1 point, for the church - depending on the number of surrounding tiles, plus the added points for the field.
Here I have selected the way of the enemy.
But always there is one big "but." In the course of the road games, castles and fields can be combined, thus yielding the completion of the same number of points as your opponent. Can and does take away the object under construction, if it will be more of your chips. This is the essence of the game: by any means and tricks to earn as many points as possible.
The game is in full swing, here included the addition of "taverns and churches."
The implementation of this board game is to be commended. Its electronic version is incredibly easy to use and completely copies the original down to the smallest details. As an opponent you can choose Artificial Intelligence varying difficulty, up to «Evil» ( «Evil" - the name speaks for itself). In addition, the game has a variety of add-ons, which are also implemented in the iOS-version "Taverns and churches", "merchants and builders," "The Princess and the Dragon." And for fans of "Carcassonne" to announce great news: There was a new addition, called "Phantom"! In it you have on hand will appear one additional piece, which only once in the entire game can be used. But it can be put on any tile already played, which is in the playing field.
"Carcassonne" is worth 329 rubles, the amount is not small, but the desktop version of the game is worth twice the price. In general, such a great app worth the money spent! In general, I recommend to everyone, if you have any questions about the game or its additions - happy to answer! I wonder how many fans among our readers, "Carcassonne"?
Price: 749 rubles
