Carcassonne Details Emerge [Update]

Carcasonne had already received a wonderfully specific launch date of "June".  Now, we are starting to flesh out what that release will contain.

IGN releases some details about how the game is shaping up, including:

  • Support for the Xbox Live Vision camera
  • Inclusion of the Rivers I & II expansions with the initial game download
  • More expansions on the way as DLC
  • Two-player games under 20 minutes and Five-player games under 10
  • Anticipated 800 MS Point price (not confirmed)

Hopefully, this will balance out the longer gameplay experiences of Catan.  Either way though, digital board games rule -- no more lost pieces.

 [Update]: Worthplaying has a preview up as well with some purdy pictures.
