Asmodee Digital today announced the release of Carcassonne for Nintendo Switch™, the first of several digital board game titles being optimized for the platform over the coming year. Carcassonne is available on the Nintendo eShop now for $19.99 MSRP.
Carcassonne is mainstream: simple to pick up, but challenging to master, presenting players with endless opportunities for tactical play. Nintendo Switch offers a complementary experience: players can enjoy the digital advantages of tabletop at home – no set-up or scorekeeping required – and take their game on the go with portable handheld capabilities.
This is the official adaptation of the famous board game Carcassonne, a tile-placement game based on the multiple award-winning tabletop game where players build medieval cities, roads, fields, cloisters and many more things.
In the Nintendo Switch edition, players can build a medieval world in a full adaptation of the multi millions sold Carcassonne, complete with 3D maps, solo mode and multiplayer with up to six players with local pass & play.
Main features:
- Local multiplayer
- Up to 4 players using Joy-Con™ controllers
- Up to 6 players thanks to the pass-and-play feature
- Cross-platform multiplayer modes coming in 2019
- Beautiful new artwork, 2D and 3D perspective
- 3 different AI behaviors
The Abbot and The River expansions are included with the Nintendo Switch edition for free, and Inns & Cathedral DLC is available for $6.99 MSRP. Cross-platform online multiplayer will be available in 2019. Further expansions already known to the fanbase, will follow.
