Thanks to this thread, I'm sitting here watching my son take an absolute ass whipping on XBox Live in Carcassone. Considering he'd never seen the game until we d'loaded the demo a few hours ago I think that's pretty much to be expected ... but he's still happy to be playing it. Bought Ticket To Ride too, which he already had for the tabletop but always suffered from a shortage of opponents.
Hell, I think he'd enjoy playing Tic-Tac-Toe if it had XB Live involved
