After getting burned by EA’s $6.99 Sims iPhone game, I had vowed to never pay so much money for iPhone app again. (The game never worked. EA’s customer service told me I should take the matter up with iTunes.) And then Carcassone came out and was priced at $4.99. Reviews for the game were awesome. I resisted the urge until I found out my older sister was going to buy it and that we could play it together. Remotely. She lives in Lesotho. Yeah, that tiny country enveloped by South Africa. How awesome is technology that my sister and I can play a board game, on our phones, from different hemispheres of the world.
Heather won our game this afternoon. I’m pretty proud that I held my own though! At one point I had it tied. Heather is an expert Carcassone strategist!
I actually thought you were going to win! It was so fun to play, let’s do it again soon! It’s even fun to play just random people on the internet, or the computer. I think it’s a really, really great app!
I agree. A really well done app! Solitare and playing random people are both fun. And those people don’t even know you’re all the way in Lesotho. Seriously amazing.
