Carcassonne or Catan?
« 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? ???

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

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 :(

Catan is kick-ass.  I wish more people played it online.

I boosted the achievements with Muckhole. It worked out pretty well. Muckhole is so hot.

Yea, I did it with my fiance. The ONE time I found another match was when I was trying to get into hers, lol

If the games are dead online, I won't bother.

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. :-/

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. :(

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.
