I came across this one yesterday was searching on Google Play.

Not excatly well disguised! Farmassonne is apparently ideal for people who like the game of Carcassonne.... No Sh*t Sherlock!!

Anyway, I stuck it on both tablet and phone and gave it a go. You can play it solo against to 'pooter, online against real people, or between friends with pass and play. It's Carcassonne (obviously!) with the difference, apart from naming conventions and art work, that you get just four meeples and then three tractors. The tractors are for the fields, once placed they stay there. The Meeples for the rest, so you are a bit more limited. The scoring is completely different as far as one quick game could work out. Solo play needs a bit of work, you can't seem to alter the difficulty setting as yet.

If you think of it as a spin-off game that doesn't change a lot (Winter Carcassonne, Wheel of Fortune?) but on your phone/tablet, then it's OK.

Grab it before the publishers jump in and make them take it down!!

It's free. No idea about iThingy availability.

Thanks for the info!! Nice find!! Merit for you! I have a couple "iThingy"'s and I did find it the iThingy store. Free so far, so I grabbed it. Don't have time to play around with it yet but it seems like an interesting variant.

Free, but with adverts.... but of course.

Blimey, that's two merits picked up in four hours. What do I do with them exactly?

When you get 50 a special area of the forum opens up with all the expansions in it for free! (At least that's what I was told)

Some info on merits:

A couple of people have asked me about "merit" recently as though they didn't really know what it was there for, so I thought it might be helpful to provide a brief explanation here. Giving someone a "merit" is a way of thanking them for something or recognising their efforts towards something that has been of benefit to our community. There is no specific criteria for awarding merit but common reasons might be that someone answered a question for you, helped you with something, sent you something, created or designed something or posted an interesting link/ idea. It's our way of saying "well done" and recognising helpfulness/ kindness/ creativity/ generosity etc with a cheery pat on the back for a job well done. Anybody can award merit to anybody else and it's entirely anonymous, but please be sensible with it and award merit only where you believe it has truly be earned. There is no upper limit either, so don't feel that you don't need to give anyone merit for something because they already have a high merit score; everyone likes to feel appreciated from time to time and giving merit is a good way of showing this and motivating others.
