Title: Carcassonne or Catan?
Post by: archie4208 on April 20, 2009, 10:02:29 PM: Which? I like Carcassonne more, but the microtransaction rape makes me. :-\. Do people even play either game online anymore? ???

Post by: demi on April 20, 2009, 10:03:58 PM: The DLC isnt required for achievements, and doesnt give you an upper hand in matches (which you wont find). The core game is all you need.

Carcassone is like Dominoes, Catan is like... crap

Post by: pilonv1 on April 20, 2009, 10:07:08 PM: catan is awesome, dont listen to demi.

unfortunately it has fucking horrible netcode that was never fixed. it's more of a board game with trading.

no one plays it either sadly :(

Post by: demi on April 20, 2009, 10:37:44 PM: I think a lot of XBLA games are dead online.

Post by: Kara on April 20, 2009, 10:45:25 PM: I'll play Carcassonne with you if you get it.
Title: Re: Carcassonne or Catan?

or catan
Title: Re: Carcassonne or Catan?
Post by: chronovore on April 20, 2009, 11:02:40 PM: I'm up for playing either as well. Though making time for Carcassonne is usually easier than Catan, which always seems to take longer.

I'm bad enough at Catan that, if I play with other people, it'll probably be a pretty quick match. :-/
Title: Re: Carcassonne or Catan?
Post by: Bildi on April 20, 2009, 11:19:57 PM: I'm up for both games, and I'm pretty bad at both games. Oh well.

Actually, that's where the problems start for some of us. :(

Post by: Mr. Gundam on April 20, 2009, 11:43:51 PM: Anyone else ever tried 2-player Catan? The wife and I play it all the time and while it works, it's not that great. Really need a third person for it to work.

Don't have any friends IRL. Internet friends are my only resource.

I have played Carcassarone maybe 50 times and still have no idea what the rules are.
