Carcassonne, a turn-based strategy title based on a board game, is also playable, its official description reads: “Buy Carcassonne today and become a master of medieval strategy.

“Own a fully featured version of the board game classic and fulfill the need for challenge any time you want, or play socially, with up to five players on Xbox LIVE, or up to four players on just one Xbox 360.
