This topic has sort of been discussed before, but some new expansions have emerged since then, and I'm always interested in new ideas:http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=545Everything that was covered previously appears to have been covered again, and in greater detail! I'd really like to see us develop a best-possible solution to this question, and then perhaps added to the CAR? I think addressing it on a per-player basis is the best approach, so that people can easily calculate how much of everything they need to buy for however many players they want to be able to support.Considering the challenges in acquiring extra tunnel tokens and little buildings, I wonder whether those should be moved to the optional components list. I feel that it is not fair to recommend purchasing something that is not easily available from Carcassonne Shoppe or Cundco.I'd like to see some more research to support what an appropriate number of tower pieces should be. I'm ok with adding more tower pieces, but should it really level out at 5 per player, or should it decrease further to 4 per player? I still lean towards the idea of leaving things like tower pieces and bridges in a shared pool rather than allocating specific numbers to each player, but I acknowledge that this opinion may not be shared by others. Perhaps this idea could be included as an alternative.
If we consider each extra player in a game with more than 6 players (making sure players are no worse off than with 6 players), then each player will need:– 1 Complete Follower and Figure Sets (in appropriate colour) [Alternate colour Phantoms not available Carcatronn ]– 1 Extra 50/100 counter (1 per player) [In case all players score over 50]– 1 Extra Abbey Tile (1 per player) [At the beginning of the game, every player receives one abbey tile]– 2 Halfling Tiles [{mix} all triangular tiles face down, and {give} 2 to each player]– 1 of each type of catapult token (1 of each per player) [Every player {...} receives 1 catapult token of each type—a total of 4 for each player.] [These could be shared without much difficulty, no player colour on tokens]– 1 pair of Tunnel tokens (in appropriate colour) [Every player receives the tunnel tokens corresponding to his or her color. In games of 2, each player may use 3 sets of tokens; in games with 3 players, each may use 2 sets.] [Maybe you should also add enough tunnel entrances on tiles for the number of players too.]– 1 of each Little Buildings (3 Buildings total per player) [Distribute the 18 {...} buildings evenly among all players. In the 4 or 5 player game, put the excess buildings back into the box.]– 5 Extra Tower pieces [Each player receives a number of tower pieces, according to the total number of players: 2 players: 10 pieces each, 3 players: 9 pieces each, 4 players: 7 pieces each, 5 players: 6 pieces each, 6 players: 5 pieces each]– 2 Extra Bridges (2 per player) [With 2 to 4 players, each receives 3 bridges and 3 castles.]– 2 Extra Castles (2 per player) [With 5 or 6 players, each receives 2 bridges and 2 castles.]

Whaleylands suggestion with the "Wheel of Fortune" seemed appealing at first thought, but I am not so sure, if this "roulette like theming" of this expansion is really something, I would like to add to Carcassonne. Plus it seems to be out of print and not so easy to get at a reasonable price anymore.
There are two cloisters in H&S.
It's funny. I'm not certain if I even want to be able to play 12 players, but I feel a compulsion to buy all the bits so I can now.

I know they have Pink, Purple, Orange, and "nude". What are the other two? Brown and White?
