Carcassonne expansion The King and Baron hits Xbox Live

For those of you who’ve been enjoying the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) version of Carcasonne, we’ve got some good updates for you. We here at QJ.NET just got an email from Sierra Online saying that the expansion to the tile-based strategy game has gone live.

The expansion, which costs 300 Microsoft Points, is officially known as The King and Baron and is composed of five new tiles. It gives bonus to the player who has the biggest city as well as the one with the longest road. The said bonus takes the form of the portly King and Craft Robber Baron avatars.

Aside from providing new and interesting configurations of Town pieces, the new tiles also introduce new rule sets namely:

• 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.
