Hi Carcassonne Central
What a great forum - incredibly helpful for a newbie.  I'm from Brisbane, Australia (Home of the 2014 G20)
This my first post so hopefully all goes well. 
In post 43 kettlefish described the Spielbox Tiles as:-

12 triangle tiles are without special icons.
8 triangle tiles have city segments (4 triangle tiles with city and road segments)
1 triangle tile has a cloister
3 triangle tiles have road segments

My question is about the cloister.
I can place the half-and-half cloister, even without another half and half, and as long as I surround it by 8 tiles I score 9 points (or the normal scoring if I haven't surrounded it by the end of the game). So there can be a triangle hole next to the half-and-half cloister and it still counts as a full tile.
Is that correct?

That is correct.

You could, by some extreme tile placement get a halfling* cloister tile surrounded by 8 halfling tiles and score 9 points!  :meeple:

You mean if two halfling tiles occupies one square surrounding the cloister tile? Or, a halfling tile is placed in the cloister's halftile square area?

Either way, the square itself is what is giving the player a point, thus giving a completed cloister 9 points, even if it's surrounded by 16 halfling tiles.

I think you should only get half a point if one of the tiles surrounding a cloister is filled with a half-tile. That could lead to some interesting situations on the score-track!

You get a great deal of satisfaction. But no extra points.

I'd say 2 points for 2 halfling tiles in one square because it's a lot tougher to get this placement.  :(y)

But half and half meaning half tiles and half a score sounds logical. *makes the V-style with fingers like a Vulcan from Star Trek*  8)
