General / Re: Wheel of Fortune: Tips for Tactics & Best Expansions to Use?

The improved tile variation over the base game is a big positive for me. The wheel adds more options for when you get yet another road tile.
I tend to add the 10 gq mini expansion non-river tiles to give more variety without adding rule complexity.
A definite tactic is to leave a meeple on a low level road to try to limit losses from the plague, as is scoring opposing meeples that are using this tactic to up impact of plague to your opponents.
If you enjoy a mega game with loads of tiles the WoF can be a good start tile as opposed to The 12 City tiles. The extra option of using the wheel has to be carefully thought out as the numbered tiles come out less frequently. Lots of extra points will be scored and the opportunity to reclaim a rashly placed meeple via the plague.
Inns and cathedrals and traders and builders work well for sure. Magic portals can be used instead of the flyers, better tiles, but risk element removed.
Finally, if you like a smallish game with oodles of points, try with just Under the Big Top expansion!
