My wife and I play it on the 360 all the time when we don't feel like setting up the board game. This game ranks up there with Catan and is my favorite board game that I own. I really wish they would release some more addons for it though.

Every person that comes over to my house gets addicted to this amazing tile strategy game. It seems simple enough: you get a turn and a tile. Put it where you can. Then decide if you want to claim part of that tile (and any connecting tile pieces that match) with a limited number of "followers." Repeat. Then score the game.

But as the games go by and you learn more and more about scoring and the strategy behind when and where to use your limited amount of followers you will find a game that has amazing depth and a high level of satisfaction as you pull just the right tile at the right time.

I've purchased all available add-ons (King & Baron, River 1 and River 2) and, like another reviewer, wish there were more. Until then, though, I am fully satisfied to play this online against you all and locally with friends and family. This is an excellent game.

This game is fun and requires thought to win. It is a tile game (which means setup and scoring is much easier on the Xbox than in real life) and with limited resources you need to make sure you get the most points. Since the game board changes with every game, no two are the same. Also, since you have no hand, you can have multiple players on the same couch.
