Carcassonne

Best board game and one of the best games for iOS in general.

The solitaire mode is terrible. The tiles you receive are in the same order every time which completely takes away replay value. Shuffle them! Multiplayer online is ok, but I still have yet to play with more than one other person. I wish I could play with two or three others. Maybe have a minute long lobby to see if one more person can join in. This game isn't worth ten bucks, five or six would be more reasonable.

The tiles are badly shuffled. Hence it is difficult to follow one's strategy. Look at RISK where the show you the stats on throwing dice. I can take that info into account as a way for AI to cheat. Show the percentage I can get each type of tile vs the enemy. This game falls short against playing the real thing.

I love playing Carcassonne on my phone and iPad. It's the only game I play regularly, and the Internet multiplayer works great. My only quibble: I hate that when I play for a while on one device, then switch to another device, the game has to "catch up" and play through all of the past moves. I wish there was an option to turn this feature off, so I don't have to wait for the game to update when switching between devices (sometimes takes several minutes). Otherwise, Carcassonne is a beautiful, nearly flawless game.

I love this game. The sound effects and graphics give it a really nice feel. The only thing I wish it had was a replay on the scoring. Especially on the fields. I feel like a lot of times I should be the one awarded with the field points but it happens so fast I can't see where my guys are on the fields. I think it would help me to improve my game if I could actually see the scoring in a freeze frame. Other that it's a great game. The computer is challenging and I love the way the juggler plays. Gives me a whole new way to look at some strategy that I hadn't thought of.
