Game description:
Carcassonne is a modern classic tile-placement game based on the award wining game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, et cetera.

We added Help Will Come Tomorrow for Mac to Porting Kit! Immerse yourself in touching story set in 1917 pre – Bolschevik Imperial Russia. The basic mechanics of the game will focus on the survival of the characters (meeting their needs, gathering resources, expanding the camp, taking care of security, exploring surroundings), but the player will quickly find out that in order to win, he needs much more: to learn the personality of the characters and work out relations between them, mitigating conflicts and taking care of the morale.

I tested this game on as well on M1 Apple Silicon as on my Macbook pro 2019 and works perfectly on both systems. Have fun!
