Carcassonne dated for 360s

Back in August of last year, Microsoft unveiled a trio of Xbox Live Arcade games based on board games from across the Atlantic. During the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, the publisher announced that Setllers of Catan (now just Catan), Carcassonne, and Alhambra would be coming to its game download service. All three have yet to be made available, but over the weekend, one was given a release window.

Sierra Online has announced that gamers will have a chance to do some strategizing in Carcassonne this June. The company did not give any further specifics on the exact date or price of the game.

Carcassonne, named after a French city famous for its high city walls, is a tile-based game that sees players placing plots of terrain on a large board. Only certain tiles can be placed adjacent to others, forming cities, roads, and fields. Sierra Online has not gone into details about the Xbox 360 version of the game.
