The King and Baron Expansion Pack for Carcassonne is Available Today on XBLA

Sierra Online has released The King and Baron expansion pack for Carcassonne, a tile-based strategy game, today on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Available for 300 Microsoft points, players can download the five-tile expansion that gives a bonus to the player who has the biggest city, and the player that has the longest road. The bonus is represented by avatars of a portly King and the crafty Robber Baron characters. The five bonus tiles are interesting configurations of Town pieces that can make Town construction even more dynamic and fun.

Along with the new tiles, come additional rule sets:

The player with the largest completed Town will get the ‘King’ icon next to their Gamertag/Avatar. The player with the King icon at the end of the game will receive one point for each completed city in the game.

The player with the longest completed Road will get the ‘Baron’ icon next to their Gamertag/Avatar. The player with the Baron icon at the end of the game will receive one point for each completed road in the game.

About Carcassonne

Carcassonne is set in a medieval countryside where players amass points by strategically placing tiles and claiming land, completing towns, roads and farms. The game is designed for one to five players who draw from a pool of tiles to create a beautiful ever growing medieval landscape. Players master this world by owning the largest towns, longest roads and biggest farms, not to mention a monastery or two. Carcassonne features multiplayer modes allowing up to five players to compete together online on Xbox LIVE and up to four players on a single Xbox 360. True to the original award-winning German board game, Carcassonne includes 72 tiles and all rule sets and is available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft points. The Rivers II expansion is also available for 300 Microsoft points.
