Question about WP7 Carcassonne game

[neosatan]

Hi!
I want to play Carcassonne on my Windows Phone 7, but didn't found anything. Anybody knows anything about Carcassonne on WP7? Even an open project in xna will help cause I will write the rest, just don't wan't to begine the project on my own.

It wouldn't be allowed on the WP7 or XBLI markets because of copyright and license issues.  At present only one company has the proper license to do a mobile app and they are only doing it for iOS (Apple iPhone).

But what about opensource project JCloisterZone? http://jcloisterzone.com
It is written on Java and may be good solution in this case. You can do a port to WP7 from the given source code.

It has two things that keep it under the radar of a Cease and Desist letter.
1) It is free.
2) It has a very limited following.

The second you move it to a mobile phone, you lose #2.

Realy don't have time to go with port of a Java app to C#/XNA. I got the source code of JCloisterZone, and maybe in march I will try to make my own implementation of Carcassonne. Still I would't publish it on market cause don't have license. Maybe if I would change the graphics and name, and some mechanics... Don't know yet.

I like to write a Carcassonne game for training in XNA cause I didn't have time for it lately and in few months I will have to write some app based on XNA...
