Not to mix historical context here, but Carcassonne on the Switch feels Spartan; it is bare of furnishings that would make it truly shine. The core mechanics are great, and this a good investment for those looking for a board-game fix that doesn’t occupy space or require setup time, but it could be so much more. The presentation of the board and the scoring system aside, most aspects of this game are too basic – online play is absent; you can’t personalise the player names, and no stats are recorded for bragging rights. You can enable the expansions, but not the individual Meeples / scoring features; the AI is sluggish; options are hard-to-find in the menus and you can't turn off the HD rumble. If the developers address these flaws and make accommodation for house rules before all the expansions arrive, then Carcassonne would easily become an area of beauty on the Switch’s map. For now, there are better ways to play this classic game, but if you only own a Switch, then it's worth a look.
