The rise of board games reaches mobile devices and, a good example of this is the arrival of some titles on Android devices that are conversions of those that already exist to be used with friends in a physical way. An example of what we talk about is Carcassonne that stands out for being simple fun.
In the development for mobile devices are the same seasonings than the specific "table", such as the construction of sites through the use of tiles, which is the key to this development. Therefore, a good placement of these is the one that allows you to go adding points that, deep down, is what you are looking for in Carcassonne. And, all this, maintains the style of the original game, which is always appreciated (which is also influenced by the fact that the representative drawings are the same).
Regarding the rules, it must be said that they are exact to the known ones, in this way it is possible to “convince” the habitual players and, in addition, they ensure a quick understanding of the new ones, since they are very simple. Besides, a useful tutorial is also included that makes this process much easier.
In the technical section, it must be said that Carcassonne does not offer great displays, since they are not necessary. The graphics are in two dimensions, which also allows it to be used in terminals that are not very powerful (with having a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM, everything is done). By the way, the soundtrack is good, but the truth is that with the passage of time it is normal that it tends to eliminate the sound of the game, because it is repetitive.
All the usual options are present
The game runs in turns, which offers the possibility of thinking about the actions to be carried out, and in each of them the doll-shaped tokens that exist to place them on the board (their number is limited). These are the ones that allow you to earn points, either by completing roads or cities (even occupying churches). Once a construction is finished, the points are added and the corresponding token is recovered. This is how Carcassonne is broadly played.
It is important to know that there is the possibility of playing several players, but local way By not using the Internet, this takes away options from the game and we hope that in the future the possibility of incorporating this option will be contemplated. Also, as there are many expansions in Carcassonne, this too can add to the fun of the game.
When it comes to options, these are extensive and all quite useful. For example, you can adjust the player's possibilities even in colors; as we have indicated before there is a more than correct tutorial; And, unlike the "board" game, the option of knowing which tiles remain to be used is incorporated ... something that at first can help beginners a lot. Good additions all, no doubt.
The Carcassonne game can be downloaded at this link from Samsung Apps and, at this link, from Google Play. To meet the requirements you should not have a very powerful terminal, since with having Android 1.6 the game can be run and the available space is only 9,36MB. A very interesting title for all those who have already played the "board" game and, in addition, this allows to know the development for those who want to know it and, surely, that it will like it since it is fun.
