Have you ever played a game of Carcassonne where any of the following questions were asked?
"How many tiles are left?"
"Will any pieces fit in this space?"
"I need a straight road, are there any left in the bag?"
If you said yes to any of those questions, iCarc Lite is the next app you need to install!
iCarc Lite is a companion to the board game, allowing you to track which tiles are available for play, and track specific information about those tiles.
What iCarc Lite will do for you:
1. Displays a list of all available tiles (from available expansions) being used in the game.
2. As tiles are played, you select each one, which will reduce the number remaining.
3. A convenient badge displays the exact number of tiles that remain to be played.
4. iCarc warns you when youre down to the last 20 tiles.
5. Play with any combination of available expansions.
6. The odds of drawing a specific tile is shown next to each tile.
TILE DETAILS
This is one of the most important features of iCarc Lite. Besides showing you a list of every tile left to play, it also has a special list that groups tiles by various tile details. For example:
1. How many cloisters are left?
2. How many inns are left?
3. How many dragons are left?
It goes further, and includes details on the edges of the tiles, letting you figure out easily whether or not there are tiles that can fit into a certain space. For example, you need a tile that has three city edges, and one road. A quick look at the Tile Details page will tell you how many tiles will fit into that space, and what your chances of drawing one of those tiles is.
What iCarc Lite will NOT do for you:
Important! iCarc Lite is NOT the actual game "Carcassonne". It is a companion to the board game (See "What iCarc Lite will do for you" above). In order to effectively use this app, you need the Carcassonne board game.
Expansions available for use:
1. Inns, Cathedrals
2. King
3. Festival
Many more expansions available in the full version.
Use iCarc Lite in either of these two ways:
1. Use it to keep all players informed of which tiles are available.
2. Track the tiles on your own to gain an edge for your game strategy!
Install it now, get some practice using it with your favourite expansions, and be ready for your next game!
Latest reviews of iCarc Lite app for iPhone and iPad
...
Crashes on iPhone 3GS running 4.0.2 when selecting the tiles tab. Screen goes black and crashes to Springboard.
If you think this is a game dont download! Its a tool for playing the real game!!
I downloaded it and it doesnt let you move. Cant play against friends or the computer
I usually play Carcassonne with one of "those" guys. You know, the guy who counts and recounts the tiles to make sure he is the uber power gamer. With this app I could finally speed the game up. I kept the odds portion of it to myself, because its fun to beat the power gamer, right? Would buy the full version, but $10 for a stats app is way too much.
