Over the years, many board games are developed with a variety of gameplay that has a range of attractions. In 2001, Klaus-Jürgen Wrede designed a game called Carcassonne. It tooks the theme of developing a medieval fortress city landscape, and became the best game in 2001 based on the Spiel des Jahres Award. In 2017, the board game was adapted by Asmoode Digital Publisher into digital form so it can be played on the Android Operating System, Steam PC and Nintendo Switch platforms. This study uses the comparative method based on Tracy Fullertons approach of game structure, comparing formal elements, and dramatic elements from Carcassonne physical board games to Carcassonne digital board games. The objective of this study is to find out what are the similarities and differences from both physical and digital board game form.
