I was pleasantly surprised when a logged back in to play Carcassonne and saw the wonderful upgrades!

It's always nice when games are upgraded with new extensions, especially when players have a choice of using them or not. But this new release of Carcassonne has many flaws. The new graphics reduce clear visibility on screen. The 'fit to screen' function still leaves part of the board off screen. The Builder could not be placed in some cases where it should, and meeples are not returned automatically after completing a structure. Various bug reports have been submitted.
The latest upgrade of Stone Age had some flaws too.
I am aware that testing capacity on BGA is limited. Still, would it be possible to perform more complete and less hasty functional testing of upgrades before releasing them in the future? Thanks & Regards, Ronald

Ladies and Gentlemen...
Dragons and Princesses.

As you might have seen, there has been a temporary lock on Carcassonne game creation today, but for a good reason:

CARCASSONNE IS BACK!
With a lot of improvements!

We wanted to make your gaming time a better time, and that's why we've improved Carcassonne.
In terms of "upgrades", you'll find:

- An improved "hint" system, where you can see where you can lay down your tiles - or not (that should improve your thinking time).
- A way to test your tile placement while others are playing: YES ! Now you can spend your time trying your tiles placement instead of just waiting!
- New options to zoom in / set the view quickly, so you'll never miss what's going on the board!
- Some animations to help you to get a feel for the actions.

+++ We added a new extension: Princess and Dragons!
While it adds some tiles and new mechanics, it also makes the games a bit more... new!

- Unleash the dragon and watch him remove THAT meeple from the castle so you can take full control of it, and spread fire through the fields.
- Protect your spot by moving the fairy close to you when you don't use a partisan.
- Make MOOOOARRR points by using the Princess when building a castle.
- Switch graphics: you can now use a player preference to switch back and forth from the old-style Carcassonne to the new one (you know, that one with the blue roofs).

We've worked hard on this, and all the credit should go to our developper, apollo1001, who did an amazing job updating the game and making it shine again: we're pretty sure you'll like what has been done here, for your own pleasure.

You can have a look at the upgraded version right now here:

More will come, soon, but for now, let us know: What is your favorite color?
Red? Or do you mean Blue?

WoW! Thank you for continuing the development of this incredible game! The update is super cool!

I am really disappointed. I just signed up for a year's subscription because I liked the way Carcassonne played. Who came up with the new graphics? They are a bit confusing and not even as good as before. They look like the game has reverted back to an old design. Also, the hint system should only be an optional thing for games.

Loving the new version! Just had a game with all expansions, the dragon is a riot!

Super fun, thanks for the update!

[BooChihuahua]

Thank you for bringing the expansion, princess and dragon. One of the best Carcassonne expansions there is. THANK YOU! I love it

Hello. I have some performance issues on Safari! I get the screen slow!

For everyone complaining about the new graphics, you can change them back in your own game settings! It's easy!
