Carcassonne on XBLA

1up has published a preview (here) of a new game coming to XBox Live Arcade in June. Entitled Carcassonne, it follows the same play as the board game of the same name. Not one I’m familiar with I must admit, but it looks like it might be good fun. There are a number of tiles split between all players, and they must place them to build up castles, roads, fields and monasteries. Once all the tiles have been placed, the scores are added up (based around the choice of tiles and their positioning) and the winner has, you guessed it, the highest score. What I find strange about this is the fact that details of a Live Arcade title that is scheduled to arrive in June has appeared so far in advance with any kind of date attached to it, but irrespective of that it looks like this could be another fun multiplayer Arcade title…
