Sierra Online has released The King and Baron expansion pack for Carcassonne, a tile-based strategy game, today on Xbox LIVE® Arcade.  Available for 300 Microsoft points, players can download the five-tile expansion that gives a bonus to the player who has the biggest city, and the player that has the longest road. The bonus is represented by avatars of a portly King and the crafty Robber Baron characters. The five bonus tiles are interesting configurations of Town pieces that can make Town construction even more dynamic and fun.

Along with the new tiles, come additional rule sets:

• The player with the largest completed Town will get the ‘King’ icon next to their Gamertag/Avatar. The player with the King icon at the end of the game will receive one point for each completed city in the game.
• The player with the longest completed Road will get the ‘Baron’ icon next to their Gamertag/Avatar. The player with the Baron icon at the end of the game will receive one point for each completed road in the game.
