Medieval Board Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Carcassone Board Game Retains Its Old-World Charm On Your iPhone and iPad

— March 3, 2015 — Tech
The Carcassonne board game is a popular German board game that is traditionally played by placing and arranging various tiles and game pieces on a table. As these pieces are laid down, an intricate medieval world of towns, roads and fields begins to unfurl on your table. The game takes its name from a famous medieval French fortress.

The iPhone and iPad version of the game keeps all the old-world charm of the original but adds a couple of handy features that only a digital board game can provide, such as networked multi-player gaming and cleaning up the table after each game.

As is the case with the original Carcassonne board game, the mobile version is frequently enhanced with expansions that are sold as in-app purchases. Expansions are offered based on what players desire, so you have a voice in the evolution of this brilliant medieval-themed board game.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Board Game Adaptations - There's an opportunity to create digital versions of popular board games like Carcassonne, which can potentially reach more players digitally.
2. Expansion-based Gaming - Board game manufacturers can capitalize on expansions as a popular way to keep players engaged and offer new features.
3. Multi-player Gaming - The ability to connect with and play against other players online is becoming increasingly popular as a trend for digital board games.
Industry Implications
1. Board Game Manufacturing - Expanding into digital adaptations of board games can be a significant opportunity for manufacturers to increase their reach.
2. Mobile Gaming - The trend of mobile games generally and those designed for multi-player experiences can offer exciting opportunities for game developers.
3. Online Gaming Platforms - Developing online platforms for digital board games can provide a platform to play, as well as a means to engage with and sell expansion packs.
