Quite nice to see, it's one of the few puzzle games I've ever been able to play for more then a first try (Scotland Yard is the other).

Now to have it on the go? Multiplayer to introduce other people to? Good times shall be had by many, even if I have to force them to try it out.

YESS!!!

Not having a 360, this is GREAT news. Plus, DS is the only video gaming I can get the g/f to do, so I'll get two copies.

I wish they'd put in the other expansions. And fix the scoring in the XBLA version, 2-tile cities are meant to be worth two points, not four.

As someone who plays the actual board games regularly, I can't stand going back to Vanilla Carcassonne having played with expansions. On its own the game is short, overly reliant on luck, and not very strategic. It doesn't really shine until you're playing with at least one of the river expansions, Traders & Builders, Inns and Cathedrals and the extra interesting tiles from King and Scout. Abbey & Mayor and an added river (with some revised rules that place both endings and the fork into the mix, so that the river ends when one or both end pieces are drawn depending on whether the fork comes out) add even more strategic value to the game.

That's the American rules set, which has been available in the XBLA version since release I believe. Check your options.

Hopefully it'll have more than just the River expansion, and hopefully it'll have game-sharing multiplayer (but I doubt that part). Carcassonne was the first European board game I played, and it really got me into them big time.

Now, when are we gonna see Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, and Arkham Horror on consoles?

@JZeitler: I'd love to see Zertz myself. I'm disappointed that Carcassonne doesn't support more expansions, particularly Inns & Cathedrals. It's still an excellent port, but the game's been out for quite some time now, and I don't see why it wouldn't be offered.

@JZeitler:
I am hoping for Inns and Cathedrals myself, but we shall see. All around good news.
